[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CShaveRR Jim, the car you caught next to the lady pin-puller was an Evans-built "Side Slider", a relatively rare variant of LU. The two doors on the outside were sliding doors; the two in the center were plug doors. On most LUs, all four doors on each side are plug doors. I'm sure the advantages of this design (chief among which must have been a lot less weight) were offset by disadvantages, or maybe LUs fell out of favor soon after this design was introduced. And I'm holding out hopes that Sarah will come work for us! Carl AMG [/quote] Carl, Ok, when going through the LUs in the 1-1981 ORER, there were two or three different discriptions. So, later on today I'll go back through and add car numbers and discription and build a list in this thread. The All-Door Thrall built car is one type as shown in the photo of the Bennet Lumber Car. Then the "side slider" was built by the Rail Division of Evans Products that also had a forest products division? I wonder what happened to Evans Products? Who bought them and so on. Jim
