These pockets were formed of much thicker sheet steel than the intermediate side sheets. This combination (thickness and forming it to resemble a shallow channel) was probably introduced to add stiffness to the sides. Another major change from the earlier types involved the underframes. While all the Type Three cars received Keystone’s CUF, the cars built in 1966 had six cross-bearer bottom tie beams fabricated from 10-inch wide flange beams, just like the earlier types. However, in August 1967, Thrall added four more cross-bearer bottom tie beams for a total of ten. These later beams had squared-off ends — most earlier designs had the ends cut off at an angle.

More posts were added, likely to add stiffness to the sides. The side posts near the bolster locations were wider, causing the accompanying welds to follow suit.

These pockets were formed of much thicker sheet steel than the intermediate side sheets. This combination (thickness and forming it to resemble a shallow channel) was probably introduced to add stiffness to the sides. Another major change from the earlier types involved the underframes. While all the Type Three cars received Keystone’s CUF, the cars built in 1966 had six cross-bearer bottom tie beams fabricated from 10-inch wide flange beams, just like the earlier types. However, in August 1967, Thrall added four more cross-bearer bottom tie beams for a total of ten. These later beams had squared-off ends — most earlier designs had the ends cut off at an angle.

Of the commercial car builders, Thrall Car Manufacturing assembled 3,544 cars, placing them in the middle of the pack (production number-wise) between Greenville and Pullman-Standard. Thrall supplied cars from 1964 through 1973.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThrall fabricated only part of the car in-house — the underframe assembly. Outsourced items included the roof and end sheets (to Stanray), doors (to Youngstown), and specialties such as brake gear, internal loader devices, etc. In a somewhat unusual move (for a large manufacturer), Thrall also chose to have the sides assembled by outside builders (due to the lack of floor space at their plant). Both International Steel Company (ISC) and Youngstown Steel Door (YSD) supplied the sides, and therein lies the key to the various Thrall designs, which are easily identified in any clear photo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe major differences in the Thrall built cars were their side designs. In June 2006, Stephen Mayberry researched these cars and posted his findings to the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Freight Cars List,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewherein he segregated cars by side design. Expanding on this excellent reference, a summary of the key differences for each car type follows. (Note: “Types” is a convenient shorthand to sort cars; neither Thrall nor the railroads differentiated between the various designs.) Across the production run, Thrall produced five 4-door side designs and two for the 8-door cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAt the most basic level, cars received either welded or riveted sides. ISC furnished all the welded versions. Cars had either single or double welds at each interior side post. ISC had exited the business when Thrall returned to 86-foot car production in 1973, so Thrall contracted with Youngstown, which chose to furnish riveted sides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eType One cars were easy to spot: they all had single welds and running boards. All cars received truck-mounted brakes and Keystone sliding sill cushion underframes (CUF).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eType Two cars were similar to the Type One design, with several notable exceptions. By the time this design debuted, the Interstate Commerce Commission had removed the requirement for running boards on top of hi-cube cars, so the Type Two lacked that detail. In addition, the internal hat section posts were turned around, and the side sheets were then welded to both flanges. Because the hand brake was now lowered, the retaining valve was relocated down below the side near the triple valve. All these cars also received Keystone CUF and truck-mounted brakes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThrall’s Type Three design introduced several changes, and the most obvious was incorporating indented “pockets” next to the doorway openings. These pockets were formed of much thicker sheet steel than the intermediate side sheets. This combination (thickness and forming it to resemble a shallow channel) was probably introduced to add stiffness to the sides. Another major change from the earlier types involved the underframes. While all the Type Three cars received Keystone’s CUF, the cars built in 1966 had six cross-bearer bottom tie beams fabricated from 10-inch wide flange beams, just like the earlier types. However, in August 1967, Thrall added four more cross-bearer bottom tie beams for a total of ten. These later beams had squared-off ends — most earlier designs had the ends cut off at an angle. Again, all cars received truck-mounted brakes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFor the Type Four cars, ISC revised the side layout once again. More posts were added, likely to add stiffness to the sides. The side posts near the bolster locations were wider, causing the accompanying welds to follow suit. The left and right sides were asymmetrical. The sheet widths next to the pockets differed between the left- and right-hand sides, shifting the side sheet welds sideways by about two inches. Seeing this in most pictures is almost impossible, but the detail is there. Why ISC did this remains unknown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Type Four car’s significant underframe design change centered around cushioning. All cars built in 1967 received Keystone’s CUF. Beginning in January 1968 and through 1970, end-of-car cushioning (EOCC) was incorporated, causing a major change in the entire underframe layout, greatly altering the end view complexion.

As explained earlier, when the company restarted the line in 1973, new sides were introduced. Besides being riveted, the lower side sill incorporated jacking notches above the trucks. These were the only cars to receive standard foundation brake gear, probably due to railroad requests.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIllinois Central became the only order for the Type Six 8-door cars, which had single-weld sides by ISC.

To complicate things further, cars built through January 1966 had the door openings spaced 20 feet, 6 inches apart. When production resumed that August, the side layout had changed, and the doorways were now spaced 20 feet, 7½-inches apart. All cars had dual welds at each interior side post, but concurrent with the door change, the side sheet layout also changed slightly, once again introducing asymmetrical side sheets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe day of the massive 86-foot auto parts box cars has come and, likely, gone.

Of the commercial car builders, Thrall Car Manufacturing assembled 3,544 cars, placing them in the middle of the pack (production number-wise) between Greenville and Pullman-Standard. Thrall supplied cars from 1964 through 1973.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThrall fabricated only part of the car in-house — the underframe assembly. Outsourced items included the roof and end sheets (to Stanray), doors (to Youngstown), and specialties such as brake gear, internal loader devices, etc. In a somewhat unusual move (for a large manufacturer), Thrall also chose to have the sides assembled by outside builders (due to the lack of floor space at their plant). Both International Steel Company (ISC) and Youngstown Steel Door (YSD) supplied the sides, and therein lies the key to the various Thrall designs, which are easily identified in any clear photo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe major differences in the Thrall built cars were their side designs. In June 2006, Stephen Mayberry researched these cars and posted his findings to the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Freight Cars List,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewherein he segregated cars by side design. Expanding on this excellent reference, a summary of the key differences for each car type follows. (Note: “Types” is a convenient shorthand to sort cars; neither Thrall nor the railroads differentiated between the various designs.) Across the production run, Thrall produced five 4-door side designs and two for the 8-door cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAt the most basic level, cars received either welded or riveted sides. ISC furnished all the welded versions. Cars had either single or double welds at each interior side post. ISC had exited the business when Thrall returned to 86-foot car production in 1973, so Thrall contracted with Youngstown, which chose to furnish riveted sides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eType One cars were easy to spot: they all had single welds and running boards. All cars received truck-mounted brakes and Keystone sliding sill cushion underframes (CUF).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eType Two cars were similar to the Type One design, with several notable exceptions. By the time this design debuted, the Interstate Commerce Commission had removed the requirement for running boards on top of hi-cube cars, so the Type Two lacked that detail. In addition, the internal hat section posts were turned around, and the side sheets were then welded to both flanges. Because the hand brake was now lowered, the retaining valve was relocated down below the side near the triple valve. All these cars also received Keystone CUF and truck-mounted brakes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThrall’s Type Three design introduced several changes, and the most obvious was incorporating indented “pockets” next to the doorway openings. These pockets were formed of much thicker sheet steel than the intermediate side sheets. This combination (thickness and forming it to resemble a shallow channel) was probably introduced to add stiffness to the sides. Another major change from the earlier types involved the underframes. While all the Type Three cars received Keystone’s CUF, the cars built in 1966 had six cross-bearer bottom tie beams fabricated from 10-inch wide flange beams, just like the earlier types. However, in August 1967, Thrall added four more cross-bearer bottom tie beams for a total of ten. These later beams had squared-off ends — most earlier designs had the ends cut off at an angle. Again, all cars received truck-mounted brakes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFor the Type Four cars, ISC revised the side layout once again. More posts were added, likely to add stiffness to the sides. The side posts near the bolster locations were wider, causing the accompanying welds to follow suit. The left and right sides were asymmetrical. The sheet widths next to the pockets differed between the left- and right-hand sides, shifting the side sheet welds sideways by about two inches. Seeing this in most pictures is almost impossible, but the detail is there. Why ISC did this remains unknown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Type Four car’s significant underframe design change centered around cushioning. All cars built in 1967 received Keystone’s CUF. Beginning in January 1968 and through 1970, end-of-car cushioning (EOCC) was incorporated, causing a major change in the entire underframe layout, greatly altering the end view complexion. Regardless of cushioning, all Type Four cars received truck-mounted brake gear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDuring Type Five construction in 1970 Thrall temporarily ceased making 86-foot hi-cube cars.

Due to the nature of the extreme loading of these cars, dual braking systems were required with the main control valve on the B end of the car and an auxiliary control valve on the A end of the car. All of the braking hardware was installed inside the frame of the car, with exterior piping along the sides of the car for the main airline, and for the piping tying both brake systems together. Both ends of the car were fitted with an air reservoir and a hand brake, and the system provided brake shoes on all twelve wheels of the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBased on customer orders, the cars came with a varied number and location of jacking pad styles. Some cars had “square” pads located over the trucks, while others had “A” style pads located at the upper deck’s end where the interior deck curvature began. Some had no jacking pads at all, yet others had square jacking pads in the same location as the “A” style pads. Most all railroads initially provided wooden planking, usually oak, to cover the two upper decks of the cars, but over time, as planking aged and deteriorated, some roads chose to remove it altogether and to cover the access holes in the top deck of the casting with metal grating or plates welded over the holes. The railroads, over time, also added different tie-down gear, and load abutments to the car decks, creating many one-of-a-kind variations to this versatile heavy hauler. While the original trucks were equipped with solid friction bearings, by the 1960s, most railroads began changing them out for roller bearings. Some railroads owned only one car, while others had larger fleets of cars, depending on which customers they served and the frequency with which loads were generated by those customers. Considering the many railroad mergers over the years, a large number of these cars were renumbered numerous times and wore a variety of paint liveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGiven the longevity of these cars from the 1940s through the turn of the century, and the number of specific changes each railroad made to load restraint accouterments as loads changed and requirements varied, there is an endless variety of railroad-specific variants that existed. At ClassOneModelWorks.com we have chosen to produce the 58’-4” version of this car with a 21’ long lower deck, the most common size, while also producing a car that will provide the appropriate body style, jacking pads, and decking variations used by each railroad, to serve as a highly-detailed car that can stand alone, or be upgraded by the modeler for the small specific details they would like to incorporate, given the timeframe of their chosen era. Our first run of cars will be equipped with GSC trucks that have been upgraded to roller bearings. Future runs will provide cars with friction bearings, Buckeye trucks, and other added details as we work through the list of GSC car owners. We hope that you will enjoy your cars that have been made to the exacting standards of ClassOneModelWorks.com.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClassOneModelWorks.com","offers":[{"title":"RI 92000","offer_id":44875901829315,"sku":"FC00238","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/6546\/0675\/files\/GSCHDFlatcarRun2RISideclassonemodelworks.png?v=1730507817"},{"product_id":"comw-hardcover-modeling-journal","title":"COMW Hardcover Modeling Journal","description":"\u003cp\u003eMake your everyday journaling more personal, private, and stylish with this matte hardcover journal.

Their excellent performance convinced the Santa Fe to adopt them as the company standard on revenue freight cars. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waycars were originally painted mineral brown with white lettering.  Many of the class had their handrails painted black to contrast with the brown color of the car, or maybe to simply protect the metal from rusting.  After 1953, the company forces began to paint handrails, end grabs, and step edges white to aid in safety-visibility.  Prior to 1938 the standard lettering practice was to spell out the car lettering as “A.T.\u0026amp;S.F.”  Sometime between 1938 and 1943, some cars were repainted with A.T.S.F., removing the “\u0026amp;”.   The periods were removed from the ATSF at some point after 1943.  An “R” was added to the cars when they were equipped with radio equipment. Several variations existed for the placement of the “R”.  Often the “R” followed the car number without the addition of a space. However, spaces and an occasional dash can be documented separating the number from the “R”.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 class cars were delivered equipped with the orange wig-wag signaling plates installed on the cars.  As radio communication began to gain prominence on the Santa Fe, many of the cars were then electrified in the mid-1950s.  Electricity was harnessed only to provide energy to power the car’s radio set.  However, after the below-floor, axle-driven generator with battery storage was perfected, many of the car’s devices became electrically powered.  The batteries were housed in a box fabricated for their use which was located on the three window side of the car just fore of the cupola.  This box had a vented door that aided in the dispersal of explosive battery gases. The box was placed near the radio cabinet which was located in the base of the cupola.  In 1968 a number of the 500 class cars were rebuilt at Topeka and emerged as Ce-1 class waycars, while other 500 class cars were rebuilt into Ce-2 class cars in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassonemodelworks.com will be offering 500-class way cars in both wig-wag equipped style and radio equipped style.  Both styles come with operating marker lamps which can be illuminated and shut off with the use of a magnetic wand.  The 500 class cars in this production run will be equipped with Kass grate walkways.  These highly detailed models will be right at home on your layout and will provide a style of ATSF caboose which has never been produced in plastic, and which exceeds the quality of previous brass models.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClassOneModelWorks.com","offers":[{"title":"ATSF 553R","offer_id":44344218124483,"sku":"CB00100","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ATSF 555R","offer_id":44344218157251,"sku":"CB00101","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ATSF 561R","offer_id":44344218190019,"sku":"CB00102","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ATSF 557R","offer_id":44344218222787,"sku":"CB00103","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/6546\/0675\/files\/553R.png?v=1755803793"},{"product_id":"santa-fe-peaked-roof-caboose-500s-wig-wag","title":"Santa Fe Peaked Roof Caboose 500s - Wig-Wag","description":"\u003ch4 style=\"color: #d32f2f;

brilliant Indian Red bodies topped off with a black roof and underframe.  Crew grabs, reporting marks and car side numbers were applied in white. A horizontal yellow stripe was added to the car dissecting the large yellow Circle-Cross herald.  The car number, including the three nines, was placed above the door for crew convenience during radio use.  When the ACI (Automatic Car Identification) mandate was imposed the reflective device was placed on the car sides.  However, unlike other c,lasses that usually carried their ACI labels centered on the car above the yellow stripe, the CE-3 class appeared to have carried the labels below the stripe.  Eventually, the ACIs proved unusable (they got dirty) and were removed from service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo denote their local or assigned service most cars received distinctive cupola coloration.  At least three variations existed in this cupola painting.  Several cars had their cupolas adorned in the all-yellow cupola scheme which included the cupola’s roof.  Two variations existed where the cupola top was painted a different color.  The first of these was found on the black-roof cars.  The cupola roof was painted black and this coloration carried down to the top of the window tracks on both the cupola sides and ends.  This left only the sides of the cupola yellow with a very pronounced black framing.  The third variation of the scheme was similar to that of the black-roofed cars but exchanged the black with red. These cars had red roofs and the cupola top was also painted red right down to the windows. Yellow was framed in a contrasting color only this time red was utilized.  The cars used both the stylized Circle-Cross reflectors and later the square reflectors.  The cupola numerals also varied in color.  White, red and black were all used at random, creating virtually no uniformity in the class.  The 999939, however, topped the charts for odd.  The car’s original numbers and their red background were masked off and the rest of the cupola was painted yellow.  The roof and cupola top were then painted black.  Finally, the masking was removed leaving a red swatch containing the original white numerals on the yellow and black cupola.\u003cbr\u003eMost of the car’s cupolas retained their original window configuration with the panes of glass at the corners.  However, several cars, including the 999616, had their cupola window arrangement altered to the centered pair design.  The side windows almost appear to be modified at will, each being different from another.  On some cars, all windows were left intact on both the three-window and the five-window side of the car. While most road cabooses received fuel and water tanks capable of handling quantities of fluid in excess of 100 gallons, the CE-3 class only carried 15 gallons of fuel and 32 gallons of water.  This lack of capacity would itself limit the utilization of theses cars on mainline trains, although I would not ever state that they were never used in that service.  The cars initially retained their wood end-doors and interior trimming.  Finished cars weighed in at 52,080 pounds, over 6000 pounds lighter than the 59,900 pound CE-2s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cars originally retained their Barber-Bettendorf swing motion caboose trucks.  The 999616 was retrofitted with Gould Barber Bettendorf roller bearing trucks.  The cupola-end truck had a bearing mounted 12 volt generator (identical to the CE-6 trucks).  The car also had its electrical system modified to operate on 12 volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile most of the cars retained their Duryea yokes and draft gear, several cars, including the 999610, were retrofitted with the “standard practice” 18” ATSF Shock Control underframes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally, electricity for the cars was generated by an axle-spun generator.  The body of the generator was mounted directly to the underframe.  Motion was provided by a belt that rubbed against the car’s axle.  Two voltage systems were present.  Some cars used 12 volts while others were provided with 14 volt 1000 amp systems.  The generated power was stored by batteries.  The older battery box and grill-door were left intact on most cars.  The rebuilds continued to utilize this “high” location for batteries for most of their careers.  Again, the 999616, and possibly others, had the door removed and a plate welded over the location giving the car the appearance of a late CE-1 or CE-2 rebuild.  A breaker box was included in the system to afford protection from electrical fire while simultaneously allowing the crews to shut off non-vital, battery-draining devices (refrigerator, radio, etc.) in order to stretch the battery life.  The red (rear end visibility) warning lights were 60 watt 12 or 14 volt (Trans-Light) Pyle National provided fixtures which were powered by the generators or their battery counterparts, they were fitted to the platform roof as were stepwell lights.  The stepwell lights were placed one per platform side over each set of steps.  This placement flooded the steps and ground with light allowing crews to board and detrain at night. A 3\/4-inch electrical-conduit containing radio coaxial-cable ran from the cab wall (internal) to under the roof mounted antenna (ground) plate.  Sinclair Radio Labs “Excalibur” antennas became the system standard in the mid-1970s, but it is doubtful that any of the CE-3s were fitted with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew steel grating was also added to the end platforms to provide better footing.  The 999635 had no underframe toolbox or frame-hung battery box.  The 999615 had both the lower toolbox and the side-mounted battery box.  This class was overrun with singular differences in detail between cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly four CE-3 class cars survived in service by 1985 (999602, 999605, 999607, 999631) but they were subsequently retired and all the cars were rendered surplus and had been donated, sold or cut up for scrap by the late 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eClassonemodelworks.com will be offering CE-3 class way cars in various Color\/paint style.  All cars come with operating step lights and red end marker lights which can be independently  illuminated and shut off with the use of a magnetic wand.  The Ce-3 class cars in this production run will be equipped with Morton walkways.  These highly detailed models will be right at home on your layout and will provide a style of ATSF caboose which has never been produced in plastic, and which exceeds the quality of previous brass models.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClassOneModelWorks.com","offers":[{"title":"ATSF 999617","offer_id":44875900256451,"sku":"CB00303","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/6546\/0675\/files\/CE-3999617.png?v=1755803178"},{"product_id":"santa-fe-peaked-roof-caboose-ce-3-mid-roof-999628","title":"Santa Fe Peaked Roof Caboose CE-3 - Mid-Life 999628","description":"\u003ch4 style=\"color: #d32f2f;

A horizontal yellow stripe was added to the car dissecting the large yellow Circle-Cross herald.  The car number, including the three nines, was placed above the door for crew convenience during radio use.  When the ACI (Automatic Car Identification) mandate was imposed the reflective device was placed on the car sides.  However, unlike other c,lasses that usually carried their ACI labels centered on the car above the yellow stripe, the CE-3 class appeared to have carried the labels below the stripe.  Eventually, the ACIs proved unusable (they got dirty) and were removed from service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo denote their local or assigned service most cars received distinctive cupola coloration.  At least three variations existed in this cupola painting.  Several cars had their cupolas adorned in the all-yellow cupola scheme which included the cupola’s roof.  Two variations existed where the cupola top was painted a different color.  The first of these was found on the black-roof cars.  The cupola roof was painted black and this coloration carried down to the top of the window tracks on both the cupola sides and ends.  This left only the sides of the cupola yellow with a very pronounced black framing.  The third variation of the scheme was similar to that of the black-roofed cars but exchanged the black with red. These cars had red roofs and the cupola top was also painted red right down to the windows. Yellow was framed in a contrasting color only this time red was utilized.  The cars used both the stylized Circle-Cross reflectors and later the square reflectors.  The cupola numerals also varied in color.  White, red and black were all used at random, creating virtually no uniformity in the class.  The 999939, however, topped the charts for odd.  The car’s original numbers and their red background were masked off and the rest of the cupola was painted yellow.  The roof and cupola top were then painted black.  Finally, the masking was removed leaving a red swatch containing the original white numerals on the yellow and black cupola.\u003cbr\u003eMost of the car’s cupolas retained their original window configuration with the panes of glass at the corners.  However, several cars, including the 999616, had their cupola window arrangement altered to the centered pair design.  The side windows almost appear to be modified at will, each being different from another.  On some cars, all windows were left intact on both the three-window and the five-window side of the car. While most road cabooses received fuel and water tanks capable of handling quantities of fluid in excess of 100 gallons, the CE-3 class only carried 15 gallons of fuel and 32 gallons of water.  This lack of capacity would itself limit the utilization of theses cars on mainline trains, although I would not ever state that they were never used in that service.  The cars initially retained their wood end-doors and interior trimming.  Finished cars weighed in at 52,080 pounds, over 6000 pounds lighter than the 59,900 pound CE-2s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cars originally retained their Barber-Bettendorf swing motion caboose trucks.  The 999616 was retrofitted with Gould Barber Bettendorf roller bearing trucks.  The cupola-end truck had a bearing mounted 12 volt generator (identical to the CE-6 trucks).  The car also had its electrical system modified to operate on 12 volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile most of the cars retained their Duryea yokes and draft gear, several cars, including the 999610, were retrofitted with the “standard practice” 18” ATSF Shock Control underframes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally, electricity for the cars was generated by an axle-spun generator.  The body of the generator was mounted directly to the underframe.  Motion was provided by a belt that rubbed against the car’s axle.  Two voltage systems were present.  Some cars used 12 volts while others were provided with 14 volt 1000 amp systems.  The generated power was stored by batteries.  The older battery box and grill-door were left intact on most cars.  The rebuilds continued to utilize this “high” location for batteries for most of their careers.  Again, the 999616, and possibly others, had the door removed and a plate welded over the location giving the car the appearance of a late CE-1 or CE-2 rebuild.  A breaker box was included in the system to afford protection from electrical fire while simultaneously allowing the crews to shut off non-vital, battery-draining devices (refrigerator, radio, etc.) in order to stretch the battery life.  The red (rear end visibility) warning lights were 60 watt 12 or 14 volt (Trans-Light) Pyle National provided fixtures which were powered by the generators or their battery counterparts, they were fitted to the platform roof as were stepwell lights.  The stepwell lights were placed one per platform side over each set of steps.  This placement flooded the steps and ground with light allowing crews to board and detrain at night.
