One more USRA DS Box Car from 1919 found ?

Maybe!

Look here
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=5502151

The car is located on the proberty of the
Washington State Railway Historical Society in Pasco, WA
(whatever status that organization is in - nobody knows...)

My understanding made as USRA DS boxcar for GN* in 1919.
Converted to an all steel car with the conversion kit from
"Youngstown Steel Door Co."
in the 1930s.

*as the car is marked as Burlington Northern it is possible that the original owner
was CB&Q or SP&S because they also received that car from the government.

Your thoughts?

Look the process below

one more pic of that car in Pasco, Wa

What you think? Is it an USRA DS with Youngstown conversion?

Regards!
