SLSF Coach #1062 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)         
Built by the American Car & Foundry in 1910 as one of of 12 60seat heavyweight coaches ordered by Frisco. As originally built, the No. 1062 had a clerestory roof, and, like all passenger cars of its day, was not air-conditioned. The car rode on 6-wheel trucks with 36” diameter wheels and 5x9” journals. The width over side sills was 10’ 3”, and the length over end sills was 70’ 1”. Total length over buffers was 79’ 6 ¾”. Truck centers were 54’ 1”, and the total wheelbase was 65’ 1”. Overall height over ventilators was 14’ 6”. The car was donated to the Heart of Dixie RR Museum by the Frisco on May 24, 1968 where it resides today. No photographer was listed for the color slide.
