Hi Bob and List Members,
The double-sheathed boxcar closest to the camera - is it Illinois
Central? I suspect it might be...

Ah, the forgotten fleet of Harriman/Pressed Steel side sill boxcars. The IC had a lot of them: 3,150 37'10" OL XMs, 200 37'10" OL XAs, and 3,000 41'10" OL XMs. The 38-footers were all gone by 1940, but the 42-footers stayed in revenue service through the K brake ban, and as MOW cars up to the ICG merger.
