Two comments from others who saw this photo:
"That photo also illustrates the practice of having 5 grab irons on the side and end on early-built R-30-12 and R-30-13 bodies, while later bodies had 6 grab irons at the same location (car at left)."

"Actually, for me a very remarkable photo-the car on the right is one of the R-30-2's rebuilt with a new style R-30-13 body on the old Harriman underframe. I have been looking for one like this for YEARS!!!
Thank You!!!"
