Thanks for that bit of info, Ken!  That's why I love this site, I always learn something new every day.

That would explain a lot of odd things, the trucks (which look like modified, now sprung UP "type B" swing beam trucks), the lack of visible Litchfield bolster plates under the sills, the odd square bolt heads on the side sill (securing a bolster of unknown type) and the reservoir only without cylinder, possibly a split reservoir/cylinder. Do you think the little rectangle at the right end of the side sill, over the stirrup step, is the property plate for the "SP&LSL" owner??



Great!! One of the few clear photos of an C&S inherited car in DL&G service, and it turns out to be another anomaly!! A beautiful photo of an odd, three car subclass. Another of Rumsfield's Unknown unknowns, now perhaps a known unknown.
