Looking for photos, drawings, and information on SRY car # 130623 (and others) which were frequently interchanged on the Graham County RR. They appear to be converted flats with horizontally hinged sides- I have heard they carried fabric rolls for the Burlington Ind. furniture plant on the GCRR.

If it is the car I am thinking of it was used for woodchip loading, not rolled fabric (rolled fabric for a furniture manufacturer would never be shipped in such a way). The car had the hinged sides for unloading since it retained its original pulpwood car flooring when it was rebuilt.
