MILW XL 2113
Title:  MILW XL 2113
Description:  MILW XL 2113 in BN's Cicero, Illinois yard on an unknown day in October 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. According to the October 1971 issue of the Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER), this car is one of 49 cars in to 2100-2149 number series, 50' 5" inside length (54' 11" outside), 9' 2" inside width (10' 8" extreme width), 10' 6" inside height (15' 1" extreme height), 9' wide, 9'10" high door, 4860 cubic foot capacity. There are two notes about the cars in this number series: Note K states, "Cars in these series have specially equipped interiors and are not suitable for general service." Note NN indicates that this car (among others listed), "is equipped with fork lift truck pallets, platforms or skids which will be considered part of the car." It appears to have acquired a replacement door during a shopping.
