Taylor, I just found a folio for one of them...

[narrowmind.railfan.net]

48'3", 56' over the end platforms. Somewhere, I have a plan for the D&RGW 48' cars...which would tell the platform length.

I wouldn't have guessed those to be that long! They certainly looked nicer behind that massive 4-6-0 than the White Pass diesels...

Where they built with the turtleback roofs?

Michael
