Though harsly lit, we can see details in this shot. Note outside bracing, which should hold up better over time than BCLR's converted boxcars. Also visible are pockets for the rotary dumper clamps. Small brackets seen above the roofline are hooks to lift the "lid" off car top prior to loading or dumping. Small white object on car upper right is stenciled "Fire Hose Connection", apparently used for fire suppression or car washout.
