During the Spring, Bob and Tom built up two new flat cars.  Mel then finished them out with stake pockets, grab irons, steps and lettering.  The shorter #12 was stacked on top of the longer #440, so that it would be easier for Mel to work on one side in the shop, roll them over to the turntable, turn them around and roll them back to the shop, to work on the other side.   –Tom
