I do not think the Rapido steam generator cars are anything close to the three T&P steam generator cars, which were rebuilt from heavyweight coaches in the Marshall shops in 1951-1952. As Ron noted, there were no MP steam generator cars. A T&P diagram for these cars is below.
The former T&P 50, now in MP maintenance of way boxcar red, is located on South Joplin Avenue in Joplin, MO, as of last year. I haven’t visited the car, but it appears to be either a shop or perhaps an outbuilding to an adjacent house.
