Soo Line (MStP&SSM) #41146         
Built by Pullman Car & Mfg. Company in 1929. The following is from a plaque on the car: The Fowler 1909 Canadian patented design involved a steel frame, bracing and framing that made freight cars much stronger, increased their life and allowed larger steel cars to be built. Refinements in this car include a steel roof, dreadnaught ends, Youngstown doors, AB air-brakes and Bettendorf trucks as standard features. Most American and Canadian railroads adapted fowler or USRA designs before the adaption of all-steel cars in the 1940s.
