The U&N had 27 foot freight cars that were purchased by the SV Ry. What would make me suspicious of this car is that it looks like it has passenger trucks. The excursion cars had passenger trucks too. It could be possible to put passenger trucks on freight cars, so it is not absolutely certain that passenger trucks mean the car was an ex-excursion car. BUT, passenger trucks increase the odds of its being an ex-excursion car.
