<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=3>Speaking of PRR passenger cars, when I was young (1950s), the PRR had a coach(s) that it ran on its premier east/west trains from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State> to <st1:City w:st="on">Chicago</st1:City>, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">St. Louis</st1:place></st1:City>, etc. The General and Spirit of Saint Louis, which I rode on a regular basis, amongst others had them.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=3>They sat about 44 passengers if I remember correctly, and they had ceiling to floor mirror at each end of the passenger seating area. They also had a man’s and woman's lounge at each end of the car. They had a sitting area as well as two toilets if I remember correctly.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" mce_keep="true"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT size=3>The cars were probably ordered after WW II. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does anyone know the name or model of the car and who built it? </FONT></SPAN></P>
