    Here’s the only one I saw that could have been in revenue service. This is the 32463, and I have it noted as ‘new door’, but looking at the photo now, I believe this is a door off one of the 1951 rebuilds, extended to fit the taller car.

    I also have a photo of the left end of the 30304, but it’s being used as an accompanying car to pile driver X37. In that photo, the lettering is the same (9″ reporting marks, 7″ 1962-style (Champ decal) numbers).

    This is May 72, Wichita of course.
