“An old, repurposed Cotton Belt tank car, SSW 52101, sitting on the edge of a field next to State Highway 1 just south of Vanndale, Arkansas. Taken on March 8, 2023.”
An additional photo of a stencil shows this car was built in 1908 and tested in 1950.
Notice the single rivet construction on the vertical courses.

Bob,
Here are the photos I took of that car last June when I was working near there. I thought I posted them to this list but maybe I didn't....
