We have received a request to show some of the steel bracing in 470, and this posting will attempt to do that. There is a steel piece that runs the length of the car as shown above. Vertical posts are present at the bends of the long piece. Each end is anchored through the sill at the end of the car as shown below.
Each end of the brace is rounded and threaded, and passes through the sill, and is fastened with a nut. The sill on the left end as we face this side of the car has been exposed to water from the icebox which was just above, and a portion is to be replaced. this nut was also rusted on.
