Help Dating a N&W Boxcar

>From the old lettering showing through the paint, this was previously a Class Ef Box Express,  # 239.  According to the March 1965 issue of The Official Register of Passenger Train Equipment there were at that time still 17 cars remaining in the series 220-239.  Jim Nichols' N&W Color Guide has a picture of the 220, and states that the 230-239 were built in 1942.

  Can anyone provide additional information on the boxcar closest to the photographer?  It was stored on the Big Creek Branch in Richlands, VA.
