Some freight cars for a 1940s Pennsy layout

I'm pretty sure that David is correct on the correct load score. The one in the middle would be deemed to put too much strain on the car's frame. Placing the load directly over the bolster does not unduely tax the integrity of the car, but puts the load where there is an abundance of support under it.

The Good DoctorWayne will undoubtedly have an actual prototypically-backed explanation.
