Yeah, we're talking about the same page, diagram, etc.

About all I can say for certain is that I remember red painted 36' and 40' 
ft ref cars in ice service after 1946...with 40' ones being the last and 
proabably into 50's

Might also point out that in 1952 the Lackawanna was still running hopper 
cars built in 1913......so....

Also, just because the cars were in the ORER doesn't mean they were in 
active use....could have been stored in a yard. And these cars never strayed 
far, if ever, from home rails after ww2.
