Here are two more shots of BCK "XFG" cars. These were obviously done by
Meadville (the numbers use the EL's 9" Gothic typeface, and the "XFG Food
Loading Only" is the same exact stencil (with the addition of a "G") as EL's
XF boxcars.

More layers of the onion being peeled back!

So what exactly is done to a boxcar to make it "XF"-worthy? Clean interiors?
The exteriors on a lot of these cars are... mediocre, to say the least!
