Here are some photos of the completed car with the first of two pickups of coal. There is a 3/4" plastic sheathing false bottom eight inches from the top. I covered the sheathing with felt paper to hide the white of the sheathing. There are holes in each end of the false bottom to drain water, and the same in the steel bottom. The car was completed in September, and we are now making arrangements to purchase a steam lokie that hauled these cars from the mine to the breaker. The lokie will go to Youngstown for a rebuild.
