They are indeed catwalks, though they're not single rails. They're boards. I believe they disappeared around 1960 or so. At the least, modern boxcars don't have them. -Stefan- (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

Jason, I believe they are walkways so train workers can walk on top of the car without tripping over the ribs. This is not apparent from the angle of the pictures. Bruce (...) (21 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)
