Actually there were two (2) 40′ insulated boxcars with plug doors painted in Swamp Holly Orange. These had the straight side sill and late improved dreadnaught ends and diagonal panel roofs. They were rebuilt from an earlier series built at Marshall. This is probably where the yellow boxcar idea came from and I only wish I could find photos of these rare cars.
