You are correct. Somehow I got it into my head that the two blunt end cars
built for the KCS had the rear roof the same height as the regular
roofline... and that the DZ cars had the domes in the rear position but with
the higher roofline aft. The KCS and DZ cars were actually quite
similar....
Thanks,
