The new versions of the 70 series passenger cars are
introduced in 1910. They have two-piece roofs and double kingpost truss
rods. The simulated wood lithography is all new, and these cars are
generally referred to as high-letterboard cars. They can be found
lithographed either white or brown. They generally have hook couplers, but
can be found with automatic couplers.
The trucks are now riveted on.
The #70 baggage is lettered “NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES”. The clerestory is
painted a different color than the roof. The orange/cream roof is but one of
several different color combinations.
