Schuyler,

The "139-11-215" format of drawing codes are from the AMC drawings, not Magor. For example, attached is drawing 139-11-355, an Erie
gon general arrangement drawing from George Elwood's website, courtesy of Larry Berger.

> In the 1952 ERIE Freight Equipment Diagram Book reproduced by the ELHS, Diagram 8-6 covers a series of 50’ double-door box cars,
> numbers 68200-68274. They were built by Magor Car Corporation, Passaic NJ, Aug-Sept 1934. The doors were widened at some point
> so they appear to be 2½ door cars, with a half-door at the left of the original double doors.
>

>
> The diagram carries a reference to “General drawing of car – No. 139-11-215 and 135-11-240.”

> Does anyone know where those drawings might be found? Are they Magor drawing numbers? Are the Magor records, especially
> drawings, preserved somewhere, and where might that be?

> I have a ¾ view of No. 68240, which is near-broadside, sourced from Bob’s Photo. Does anyone know of other photos of these cars?
> End views would be particularly helpful.
