Bob, Right! Somewhere years ago I saw a photo of one such MILW ribbed car lettered for the WP. That was rather late in the history of the ribbed cars. Possibly the photo appeared in Mainline Modeler. Tom

If I recall correctly a few cars were sold to the WP as a joint deal to service the Amana Company in sending their appliances into Calif. I have never seen any prototype photos or model photos for that matter.
