What’s interesting about the fluting on the stainless steel cars is that both the BMT Zephyr and the R-11s, both Budd products, only had the fluting halfway up but the R-32s had the fluting all the way up. Had Budd gotten the R-38 contract, the fluting on those would have been only halfway up since I heard that the all the way up fluting made the cars too noisy. |
