Thanks Gary! Very enlightening. When I was just a wee lad, I used to spend quite a bit of time at my grandfathers place in Tucson. Down in the lower field, his workshop was an old insulated boxcar. I don't remember if it was a 40 or 50 footer, but I do remember crawling up the ladders (full laddders) and all over the roofwalk on the top (I guess that makes it a 40'er). The brake wheel was mounted on the end (as opposed to on top). Even when it was over 100 degrees outside, you could go down to that boxcar, and feel the cool air come pouring out as you cracked the doors open! Ahhhh, memories.
