I also model PRR and the DL&W and Southern cars would show up in PRR trains.  Don't know about the others but it was common for almost any RR baggage cars to show up on any road carrying express shipments across the U.S.

Depends on what part of the PRR you're modeling. There were more than a dozen trains daily to and from the South that operated over the PRR between Washington and New York, with lots of SOU and ACL baggage cars on them.

AHHHH thankyou Bob I have all kinds of books on the PRR but most of them for freight so I am not to versed on the passenger side of things.
I did look around awhile back when these first came out to see if I could find any pics of these cars and what road names that may wind up in a PRR consist.But I could not find any info/pics to lead me to a whp what were and when.

Well it looks like I am going to have to pic some of these up man I hope my job holds out there is a bunch of stuff coming down the pike ::) ::)

Gregg I model from the late 40's to late 50's and I really don't have a plan on where I want to model yet but I know it will be in the eastern region if that helps.

Thanks for the info guys!!

Great Northern is very tempting.  If only they had CB & Q to go with them!

Atlantic Coast Line baggage cars (from the first WOT release) could be seen anywhere on PRR passenger routes.
