PC: Re: Re: Black PC cabins

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My guess is some sort of run-thru or interchange train between the two
roads, since it says they're joint AT&SF/PRR trains - crossing a rail
"bridge" from one to the other, or some such thing.

Any other info on those trains or maybe an answer in the next issue?
