The New York Central Gondola Car No. 6462 is listed in the Production Table as Variation P of the Type 2a painted RED body that has WHITE lettering. This car was available in 1954 and it was equipped with Type 6 bar-end trucks with magnetic couplers. The steps have been eliminated, but it was issued both with and without brake wheels. Note that the "N" of "NYC" is in the second panel, and that there are two lines of car data and no "NEW 2-49" date on the sides on this variation. The box is numbered "6462-75" on this issue. Most likely early 1954 production. |
