ROADS: ATSF

200 cars were rebuilt in 1951 for zinc concentrate service between Mexico and the American
Metals Company in Blackwell, OK via El Paso, TX. The outer sheathing was
removed, revealing the construction details of the car. Stenciled for this service, the cars
were numbered 40250-40449. In 1951-2 another 200 cars were rebuilt but these were not
stenciled for the zinc service so it is assumed that the cars were used in general service.
Upper door stops were not original to the rebuilds but added shortly thereafter. Lettering
changed slightly over the years. The herald was reduced in size, the capacity data moved
and some dimensional data deleted. The cars ran as late as 1973.

Kit 3652 models all of the detail and lettering variations of the car from rebuilding to
scrapping.
