Southern Livestock Car 45650

Car built by Ralston Steel Car Company. This was a 40-ton stock car new October, 1938.

Interior of this livestock car. The floor was concrete as wood wouldn't have lasted very long under the livestock.

Yessir Bob, I've got those photos as well and it is one of my bashing or building projects....someday.  Tough with slated/open ends.  Southern also had a truss rod version during this time as well.
Thanks for posting

This is very similar to the Ambroid/Northeastern wood kit from probably the 1960's. Larry Wolohon
