The WP 3rd sub from 3dtrains uses the WP's 1964 track chart (post construction of the Oroville Dam which necessitated a significant line change). These cars would fit in very well as boxcars were still pretty free-rolling over the nations tracks, esp. in auto-parts service which were often composed of cars taken nation-wide and formed into industry pools.

Yes, when you have the advantage of a little cross section of cars all photographed from the same location as these were, you can see the free running in effect. However I don't believe much if any auto parts moved through White River Junction, at least not in 1972. (In earlier years there was a Ford Assembly plant in Somerville . . . now known as Assembly Square and also some parts factories on the New Haven).

The wagon file NYC_46481_XM_50_DD_LD.wag contains an error on the line Wagon ( NYC_46481_XM_50_DD
The Wagon line is not the SAME as its FILENAME.
The Wagon line should be Wagon ( NYC_46481_XM_50_DD_LD
