Not strictly true actually, the siding was glued on and nailed to add extra
strength to the structure as well.

That is the way wood cars were built if the mover did not have a problem just
adding the siding and new window sills is not part of the structure only the
skin not the bones. That is the difference between steel cars where the skin is
part of the structure and wood cars. Also makes the steel cars lighter

What has been the effect of the 1954 door on the structural integrity of the
car? Can the integrity be restored? Looks like the car depended a lot on
bracing members below the window line.

Hi To all
Yes we have made huge strides again today with siding and window sills, we also
discovered two more original windows....however they had been raided from C&S
529 sometime in the 1920's in Denver.
To see the beauty arising from the beast go to....
