Mike,

If you have photos of this series, please post them!

The only shot I found in this series (in EL Red) is the attached shot that I
cropped out of another photo (the EL car, sadly, was not the photographer's
prime subject matter - for shame! :). Note that this car was rebuilt
(revised side sill) and is now in.... salt service! About as far from BX
service as you can get.

Of course, when Meadville undertook the boxcar rebuilds, weren't many of
them renumbered from their original series?
