it would have been for one of the Rotaries. I remember one of those cars being lettered for OM.

These cars were replaced by former RPO cars in the 1950's. The guys on the Rotary trains really liked having a better place to crash than those drafty old box cars that rained soot on you as the Rotary outfit bucked it's way along.
