It is a rebuilt U.S.R.A. double-sheathed boxcar (SHS and now MTH). In addition
to the trucks and lettering, note the extra step under the door, extra grab
iron on the left side and the diaphram buffer over the coupler. Actually, a
much more accurate conversion than using the X29 for the SAL B6.

Allied Full-Cushion; I believe River Raisin imported WWII troop cars at one
time (before I was in S scale) which should
have had them. As in this case, they were used on several prototype roads'
express cars; I believe they were not
very sturdy in high-speed service.

This is an interesting car as well. It is sort of kind of X26 (SHS car)
Pop the vent in and have at it. Those are some funky trucks though!
