Another difference that the 284, 306 and 320 had compared to their sister open platform coaches was they received electric, steam and air signal lines for use on the San Juan circa 1939. They were not steam heated as they retained stove heat for use on the Santa Fe branch. You can see the conduit on the roof in the photos that Jim McKee posted that connected to the electric lights and both types of interior lights in this view of # 284 at the CRRM from the Trainorderboard.com
