"Railroad Roof" C&LE freight trailer

Interurban freight trailer with clerestory roof, C&LE
Most of the Ohio Interurban freight trailers where delivered originally with a "Railroad" clerestory roof instead of an arched roof. This variant of boxcars remained in service till the end of the C&LE.

Steven Greenup from Ohio, who knows more than I about Interurban railways, helped me with numerous documents and advices to redraw a diagram of this cars.

Now, I will go another step back into the past, and try the diagram of the original Ohio Electric trailer, with side windows, smaller sheeting and train doors at both ends.
