The P&LE version was the only X65 (975-B) to be built with a roofwalk and high brakewheel.  But the railroad removed the roofwalks and lowered the brakewheels fairly quickly, so no reason to consider that variation.  The cars NYC built for itself (976-B) had no roofwalk and low brakewheels from the beginning.  And of course, the PC-built cars followed suit.

OT, but, That photo can't be in Stanford, CT - there's third rail on the ground.

Excellent on the X65's of course!

Under running third rail, too. There are Metro North RR M-1 and MU's there. On the building it says "Harmon Diesel and Electric Shops", so I'm guessing Harmon, New York shops.

The CRHS is also accepting pre-orders for these cars, for those of you who want to float a few duckets our way.
