Pat,
Note the Flammable Solids and an Explosives Placards. I wonder who would be
receiving these materials.

List...

Like many other roads in the 1960s, the Southern Railway had a number of
older 40' boxcars rebuilt to extend their useful lives.  The Southern sent
boxcars to Berwick and to Hamburg Industries for rebuilding in the 1968-69
time frame.  The cars returned with larger 9' door openings, with either
Youngstown or Camel sliding doors applied, deeper reinforced side sills, cut
down ladders, and no running board.  The cars were listed in the equipment
register in the 46000 - 48499, 48500 - 49499, 49500 - 49999, and 500000 -
500174 number series.  In all, 34 examples were found in the EL consist
sheets, which would put this car in the 87-89 range in the EL Hot 100.

...taken in Boonton, NJ.

Locations...
Systemwide, most often hauling either paper or furniture to northeast
distributors.

Model...
None that I am aware of.  Like many 40' boxcar rebuilds, a modeler could
kitbash one using a Branchline Trains kit or Atlas car as a starting point.
The larger door could be obtained from Kadee.
