LIRR Milk Car #3000
Huge commercial dairies like Sheffield Farms along Atlantic Ave in Dunton had their OWN stenciled cars as well. Info: Dave Keller
The builders photo is from the Keith Retterer Standard Steel Car collection. The details show the car was built between 1911 and 1916 (the last year any XLs were built). The roof appears to be a Murphy flexible metal roof but without the stays on the edge. Therefore, you can just file them off the model roof. However, I can see that it is difficult to hide the roof hatch openings. Info: Al Westerfield
