Interesting little story on this car...
The original PS-1 P&WV boxcars when built and received at Rook Yard
all had 6' seven -panel doors, boxcar oxide red. Almost all of these cars when re-shopped after 1956 were painted gloss black w/S-O-S logo.
The old color slide of #1348 (when you look close)
has only 5-panels. On one side only. (Dallas TX. circa: Aug.1961)
The late Larry Kline tells us this car was damaged and repaired, on a foreign western road.
The replacement (repair/repaint-job) used a matching 6' five-panel door.
Larry K's collection included this original color slide w/ detailed notes. |
