The old NEB&W Guide says Rutland 6000-, 8000-, and 9000-series boxcars had 6/8 "innie" corrugated ends, where the similar (much more numerous) 1916-design NYC cars had 7/7 ends: so this would be a Rutland car. Dennis Storzek made kits of both.Agreed. Built in 1924, IIRC, long after the other NYC cars.

Thanks, Dennis. I did not realize these were built later.
