My mistake you are all correct. Dpl has it labeled as 1930. I had a brain cart and didn't think about it just read the date. Of Course it can't be 1930, combine 50 is on the rear with her steel skin. That was changed in 1934.
I should know that, I have been restoring the car for the past year. Duh.
I agree with your thought J S Cary. Perhaps it was at Atchee for repairs. Still I wonder if was empty. Or maybe half full to keep in heavy enough to run at the head end but also light enough to keep tonage down.
