>Something else to keep in mind is almost all of these cars where originally standard gauge, maybe this is left over from then?
I'm starting to wonder if the "LF" is from its previous life as a standard gauge car. There's a lot of old lettering on the car, and some like this shows that the car was not repainted from 1936 on.
You can tell the "Gramps" was of a later vintage:
This car is currently inside the Antonito CRF, and during the Iron Horse event in August, it will be available for any of you to look at closer.
