Here’s the photo from Nate Obermeyer; unfortunately the ART shield is somewhat hidden by the residue on the side of the car.
Information from Nate on these cars as follows:
“All of the 3-bay ACF built 3510 cuft cars started as LOCX cars 709900-709999 – 100 cars total. The LOCX reporting marks were used from 1965 to 1973 when it was changed to LOC. This group was unique in have an ART shield and American Refrigerator Transit stenciled on the sides. Starting in 1973 some were changed to TP reporting marks and in 1977 they were changed to MP. The 1979 Mopac equipment roster lists 60 cars as LOC and 35 cars as MP. So all that needs to be done is drop the X for any car after 1973 and it would be accurate or do a full paint up to TP or MP. However I have not seen a photo of one of these cars with TP reporting marks”.
