Probably not much, have only seen a few around in recent years. I love them because this was the type of car I saw most in the Frisco yard where Dad worked. Tank cars was the  other. I  would look for the logos on them and figure out which RR they belonged to. Parents and I would watch for  Frisco ones on our trips. We saw one at Rawlins or Rock Springs, WY, that was the farthest  from home we saw. And learned their nickname was "sidedoor  Pullman", because of the hobos catching a ride. Sometimes the yard bulls would find one and either hold him to be arrested or run him off the property.
