Re: [CBQ] Question about DD Boxcar #48500 with End Doors

[Ken Martin <kmartin@cwia.com>]

Bill,

  They did not have boxcars per se but did have automobile cars with 
double doors and end doors. They were class XA-15B 48500-48599 built in 
1941 so they would have been painted tuscan originally, I did see one 
sitting on the ground in Nebraska painted Chinese Red so at least some 
did get the new paint.
I don't know how accurate it will be but it will probably be close.

There is an article on the Composite Autocars in Vol 12. of the "Railway 
Prototype Cyclopedia", it says the next issue  (vol 13) will have the 
steel auto cars.
