(erielack) Mysterious D class cars

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

Ahhhhhhh, thank you Paul. So it turns out the "A" car is.....a typo. It's
actually a box car. Some good thoughts from the group on the meaning of "D",
dbl-door, damage-free etc, but none of these have panned out. They include
everything from plain 40' box with single 8' door to insulated to reefer. I
believe the D is also a typo, (can look like B on the old teletype
printers), so just read B for D.
