I’m very intrigued by the Frisco boxcar just behind the tender. I started thinking it was a USRA Double-Sheathed boxcar, perhaps a rebuilt model, but the door appears to be out of the ordinary. So at this point, I haven’t the foggiest.
The angle is bad, but my guess is some kind of lug door on that first boxcar.
I don’t see evidence of ice hatches, so it isn’t a refrigerated car. Perhaps it is an insulated car?
That should have said plug door… read before you post….
I’m pretty sure it’s a standard unrebuilt USRA wood boxcar. The door has a top runner and a steel horizontal belt rail. The other stuff looks to be shadows or dark wood coloration.
