Might be too modern but I ordered the A - Line kit anyway.  Still better than a piece of cardboard 


Well, according to an image in this extract of a 1969 issue of Railway Age magazine, the A-Line doesn't look drastically different (the main thing that jumps out is there are no handrails).

No it doesn't I am thinking that the kit can probably be built without the handrails thanks for sharing

If anyone is interested, here is the unloading area in San Bernardino California. It is located just southwest of the intermodal yard and passenger station.
