Mike,

I believe car #444038 is a general purpose flat car assigned to the MOW
Department for transporting materials and machinery. The first two digits of
the number indicate this. The fact that it was photographed in Cleveland
also supports this.

The reacher cars, as far as I know, were in the 443 series, meaning they
were assigned to the Transportation Department. The one photo I have shows a
cabin on the car for the brakeman, and also steps and grab irons to allow
him to easily mount the car.

Attached are photos of reacher car #443075 and #444069 showing the general
utility of the 444 series.

Ron Dukarm
MOW Technical Advisor
