Express Boxcar ?

[NW Mailing List]

A Google search took me to the OGR Forum, where someone pointed out that  
per the NWHS web site, N&W had converted some B-8 boxcars to express  
service.  If you look closely at the end corrugations of the first car, it  screams 
"Pullman PS-1" at you, i.e. B-8.  However, a quick look through my  
reference materials yielded no details, listing of cars converted, or  installation 
of passenger air brake systems.  So, that's about all I can  contribute - 
hopefully others have more information.
