Northern Pacific Woodchip cars

I am trying to find information regarding the Northern Pacific Woodchip Cars, what I am after is information regarding the data/lettering on these cars (Thrall 119500-119699, 1966), I am after the small lettering to the right hand of the sides, dimensional data? and maybe operating instructions, any good close ups of data would be great thanks.

Check the NPHS archives, they may have just what you are looking for.

photog John Fitzpatrick read your mind:

Shot of the left side is on the site, too. He wasn't crazy enough to shoot the ends (unfortunately).

I am sure that the white striping was not graffiti as some have claimed since it appears on far too many cars (both GN and NP) in the same basic location... likely ran through the R.I.P. track and shot with the lines and sent on... some BN cars have a white rectangle at one end which may actually denoted a rotary coupler placement instead of a hinged end.
