Back in '74, mom took us kids to the beach in Edmonds, Wa where the BN is literally next to you-mom took a pic of us kids as a train was passing-and nothing but a perfect Southern boxcar like that in the background! It's in a scrapbook somewhere....
Not the best quality slide, but from 02/22/1998 at Big Four, WV, SOU 86' (outside length 92' 6") Hi-Cube 42538.
From 09/13/1988 at Prattville, AL, SOU 551371. This Class LC 50' car was from a unique series that came equipped with four roof hatches, a plug door and sliding door to handle goods as well as bulk commodities. I can't make out the car's build date.
I failed to record where I took this photo of SOU 525766, but it dates from the mid-1970s. Build date was 02/1973. These were plentiful and seen everywhere in their day, and decades thereafter. Southeastern paper mills were heavy users of these.
