[RITSlist] Fwd: Rock Island Boxcar

Fri Sep 7 23:56:19 CDT 2007

Carl & Les:

  Louie Droge has gone over and photographed the car and the number is actually 21546 and not 21543.  Just to keep the record straight.

  The car in the photo is a Pullman Standard product (by
the shape of the ends) with a 6 foot Superior door.

24000-22999 are ACF cars, so it's not in that series.

21000-21749 are P-S cars with Superior doors, so 21543
is more likely the correct number. These were the
cars built in 1952 with the Centennial logo applied
when new.
