I have several photos of these cars in EL paint - BUT! - they all have the
side stake stiffeners on them (with the exception of the ones that went into
Rail Train Service). I'm guessing at least a couple of DL&W ones made it to
CR in DL&W paint (and I'm also guessing that the EL added the stiffeners
when they got repainted)
