Late 1950s B&O/PRR/NKP/Ect..

A good mix of steam and diesel..

First time I have seen/noticed Heavyweight Single Door baggage cars?

PRR running 'Head End' cars on both the front and rear of a passenger train??

Thanks for the video - it is exactly in my modeling era.

The heavyweight single door baggage cars are on the B&O trains.  They are "C-15" express cars. 




I always saw pictures of those painted blue.  There is one that was apparently painted blue and gray that shows up on a different video, but it is too blurred to read the number on that one.  SO, it is a B&O historian's legend still waiting to be revealed.

Some of those in this video are apparently painted Pullman Green.  That is news to me, so thanks for the learning experience.
