In 1975 you could still make out the Kansas Central and 25192 on the mountain side of the box car. When I measured the car in 2003 the exterior lettering was no longer visible. From inside the box car in 2003, I found the C&S #7611 in 2 3/4" high letters and the two UP numbers, both in 3" high letters. The KC #25192 was there and also the #24659 for the DL&G. I didn't see a #402? in the car unless that was part of the #24659.
