The cars on this page are grouped together based on how they are constructed. They all have T-Trucks, early couplers that are riveted to the frame, early doors with the 'POST NO ADVERTISING' litho and inside they have a combination of arch and square spreader bars. Note also that the CB&Q, Santa Fe and Rock Island have the earlier litho with no corner braces. 

Still no corner braces on the CB & Q and Santa Fe below

Note no corner braces in lithograph.

It is believed that 1914 was the first year for both the IC car above and the CP below.
