Center-Beam cars

Nice review. I think an error crept in on the history thou. The 1969 cars were, I think, the WP cars. BN didn't exist till the next year. NP also received some cars of the same concept but without the opera windows. BN was the largest class one owner but shortlines and lumber companies owned plenty too, usually thru the leasing companies.
