locked Southern Boxcars with opening end doors

George Courtney
Can anyone tell me if the 40' and 50' Southern boxcars with opening end doors were 5/4 or 5/3 ends. I can't find a photo anywhere I looked. These would be Dreadnought ends. My era is early 1950's.
Thanks, George Courtney

Here is a quick reply. I hope this helps The 40 ft DD cars 272000-272999 had 4/5 dreadnought ends. Note that 272500-272524 had end doors. The 1938 50 ft DD auto cars had 4/5 dreadnought (sq) ends (40000-40199) The 1944 50 ft DD auto cars had 5/5 dreadnought (w) ends (41500-41549 end dr cars) (40200-40249 end dr cars) (42000-42299) The 1944 50 ft DD auto cars (39000-39973) did not have end doors.
