Tom, My best guess would be a Westerfield XM-18, -17 kit for the sandbox. Rob Manley

Tom, Old wood box cars were used for company sand service. That could be for locomotive sand or used elsewhere. For example, one night in the midnight shift in the west yard at Eola there was a freezing rain storm, and I do mean storm. Ice was thick on the cars,hanholds,pinlifters and on the ground. It was simply unsafe to work. The foreman went to the yard master and told him we couldn’t work any longer w/o sound footing. The foreman also happened to be yard men’s unions local chairman. The section men were called, we dug out an old outside braced box painted company service orange and spent the rest of the shift moving slowly around the yards with the section men shoveling sand out of the car doorways. Also note that prior to company service orange company service cars were just restencilled from service. Leo On May 14, 2020, at 1:39 PM, Tom Mack via groups.io <thommack=yahoo.com@groups.io> wrote:
