Notes:
This is an operating car (baggage cubes are dropped off). It was produced in both red and green versions (painted and not-painted green in 1953 and 1954). The operating side of the car shows the car's number on the ends, and the other side shows "American Flyer" and the car number centered in between the two fixed doors.
