They featured double Youngstown doors with Camel fixtures for a 15' opening, Pullman corrugated steel ends, Pullman riveted roof, Apex metal running board and brake step, Uiversal vertical wheel hand brake, Miner A-22-XL draft gear, nailable steel floors throughout, Universal slack adjusters, National C-1 trucks with roller bearings and capacity as above.
My ORER's don't show these cars ever being remarked for MP. They may have gotten sold. More research is needed.
