I think we are looking at a distorted photograph. Either the photo was taken with a wide angle lens or a file that was digitized has become elongated and has distorted the apparent length of the car. I believe the car is a standard wood double-sheath 40′ box car.

I resized the photo in PhotoShop and it appears “normal”, but when I post the photo to this BB it becomes distorted again. I also tried posting the photo to the discussion group, but again it was distorted.

Aha!! I opened the file again in PhotoSop and had the message, “This file was created to be viewed on a television monitor” So there is substantial distortion in the image.
