During some search about MRSR I stumbled on this flickr pics from 2015.

Any idea and or history about that two old wooden boxcars.

Thank you John!

I was guessing that the single sheated car is fom the 714000-717199 series of
CMStP&P. See the builder photo from PC&F in 1928.

The double sheated car could be almost anything
GN USRA clone,
GN truss rod rebuild or yes
the NP 10000 series. See here:

What is interesting that these MILW 714s and NP 10s are seldom like a virgin in
high school.
I did not know any other MILW of that series (2 from then previus 711s are
in Chehalis, WA and Princeton, MN).
The only other NP 10s is in Snoqualmie, WA.
