I am trying to understand if the above ATSF 40' double plug doors automobile parts boxcars was in service with the ATSF freight already  in 1959 in this format which includes 

Large Santa Fe new herald and new slogan "ship and travel Santa Fe all the way" ?

thanks very much

I'm not a ATSF expert, but I know that that logo came around in late 1950's (1959 if I'm not mistaken). So to answer your question : yes (the car would be new at the time).
