Is 210 one of the infamous "ribbed rubber floor mat" cars? They were just about impossible to clean the floors on them.

I was always intrigued by 210 and the big tin patch on the side. My guess was it got cornered and Alamosa was too cheap or too lazy to replace the siding. I also wondered why Scenic Rys., who had lot of box cars to choose from, picked one with a big Band-Aid on it.......
