That's part of the beauty of modeling company service equipment. It very "era indepentate". Most (but certainly not all) of the pictures are late steam and early diesel.

Thus regardless of whether you model pre-WWII, post-WWII or pure diesel era, truss rod box cars, ex-tenders (used as water cars & plows), wooden passenger cars, o/b box cars, etc could be seen along with occasional newer rolling stock (a bit of S.S. lightweight passenger equipment started showing up in the late 60's) Much of this equipment survived into the mid-70's or even a bit later on BN. The more remote the branch, the longer the equipment was spared the scrapper. (Example - an ex-T class articulated tender modified as a plow in Rockford, IL late 1970's) Gerald
