Mr.Lybarger;
The 5000s weigh in about 3,000 more as well.
Didn't the 3800s have 28" wheels?

What no one has been able to successfully explain to
me is why the 3750s are listed as being 5000 pounds
heavier as essentially identical low floor cars in other series.
We encountered this discrepancy when we were looking
at things for 4398 a few years ago.
I do not believe that there was that much difference in the weights.
