Sky Box Flat Cars

SP's assigned several groups of cars to aircraft parts loading service for Boeing and Lockheed. These cars featured lids mounted atop the flat car that protected the aircraft subassemblies during transport. The Boeing cars featured tall lids with tapered rooves. The last three digits of the car number were painted on the side of the car after the letter "N" on these cars also. The only photo I have seen of a Lockheed car shows a square roof lid.
