Paul,

Are you saying that the car was actually salvageable after plunging over 
200' into the Genessee R Gorge?

Let's move on to something that had quite a few "oddities" in the group...
the covered hopper fleet.

Here's a start...

20013 was the ONLY EL cylindrical covered hopper to be repainted into full
gray paint (this is the car the ELHS has released in HO scale as an
exclusive item). I'm not sure, but was this the car that fell off the
Portage Viaduct due to harmonic "rocking?"  Perhaps that was the reason for
the repaint...
