I guess this is a rare view of a coke car which is not shown in "Century+Ten" by Mr. Robert Sloan. In the right corner of page 32 of Mr. Dorman's "Chama, Cumbres and a little Chili" is a view of a coke car, looking to be #884 with a very high top and no roof. Mr. Sloan included a plan of a 10'9" high car but this car is way higher than the adjacent 10'1" box car. Is this a variation never photographed before?
