kCS single sheathed boxcars

Hi 

I can find no information on the list about these KCS cars, which I assume formed a 7300 and 7900 series.  Wondered if anyone knew anything about them?  Have tried a couple of KCS forums elsewhere. 

About the only information online is a wrecked car the 7921 on the rr picture archive. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/rsPicture.aspx?id=592205

Wondered if anyone knew about their history, provenance, usage and disposition.

I believe your pictures show single door rebuilds of cars originally built with double doors.
As for the timeline of when the cars were rebuilt, I don't know but it might be revealed by
examination of a few ORERs.

The double door cars are available from Funaro & Camerlengo. It would take some work
to 'rebuild' them. :-)
