Locked Sn3 7-58

I saw a K4 decal for the twin hoppers. On it is the above lettering. Sn3 and the date. Also that it was built in 1937. I'm assuming that this Sn refers to either a repaint or a later shopping date. But I'm unfamiliar with Sn3? Was this a shop on the old Southern and if so, where was it? My best guess is Spartanburg, South Carolina. I do know back then most hopper work was done at the Costner Shops in Knoxville. Was Spartanburg a repaint shop? |

What I am seeing is Sn 3-58. Looks like a reweigh date. Would Sn be Spencer? Jack Wyatt

According to the list compiled on the Steam Freighcars list, "SR" was Spencer. "SN" doesn't show up at all, though that group does not really consider anything after about 1960, A car reweighed at Spartanburg would probably be "HE" for Hayne Shops.
