Re: PC: A "Penn Central System" gondola?



Same here, I grew up right next to PC on the Buffalo Line and I don't remember  "system " being on any equipment. I do remember seing boxcars and gons with PC logos with P&LE reporting marks though.

I'm from Missouri.  Only photographic evidence is going to convince me that
Penn Central ever used the word "system" as part of their name on their own
equipment.

I beg to differ with you. I talked to a gentleman who worked for PC and he
told me there were a few labeled Penn Central System and they were
generally used within the MOW Department. Mostly for transferring parts
such as wheelsets, boxcar doors, etc.
