While I don't think that's the correct prototype for the boxcar in my possesion, I can now look into model railroaders who owned layouts that may have that possible name thanks to my 1956 copy of the NMRA Railroad Directory in that area. I'll have to have my wife send it to me as I didn't pack that with to bring to Korea.

At first I was thinking that could have been spawned off of something from the Pacific Northwest, as there was a railroad out there called the Crooked River Railroad. But who knows, I like the mystery both of these cars have.
