As I understand it, the 6200s were originally 34' wood framed and built 1918, rebuilt in 1937 to 36' with the reinforcing angle irons added to the center and outer sills and the heavier cut-down standard gauge bolsters and draft gear. These angle irons are speculated to have been from a retired bridge.
