[CBQ] End ladders for XM-33 50ft boxcars

["Mark Heiden" <mark_heiden@hotmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a model of an XM-33 50ft AAR boxcar, series CBQ 21000-
21399, using the Proto 2000 single door boxcar.  A prototype photo of 
these cars can be found at:

http://www.steamfreightcars.com/gallery/boxauto/cbq50ftaarmain.html

I've been unable to find good photos showing the end ladders of these 
cars.  A broadside shot of CBQ 21000 appeared in the 1943 Car Builder's 
Cyclopedia, and seems to suggest six or seven rung ladders, with a drop 
grab iron making up the seventh or eighth rung.  Does anyone know if 
this is the case, or if the ends had eight rung ladders like the sides?

Thanks,
Mark Heiden
