I finally acquired a hi-rez scan of a Penn Central boxcar where the trust data is semi-legible. I've figured out most of the text by block-reading and knowing some of it in advance, but I can't make out the third line:

The text reads as:

UNITED STATE RAILWAY
LEASING COMPANY
_____ ______________
LESSOR
TITLE TO THIS CAR SUBJECT
TO DOCUMENTS RECEIVED
UNDER SECTION 20G OF
INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT

The first word could be "NEW" but I have no idea what the second word is. Looks as if it starts with "PLA". Any help would be appreciated.

It also says UNITED STATES not STATE

Unless that was a typo on your part

Whatever it is, it will refer to PC specifically somehow, as the Lessor of the car. I would surmise it's "PCA Pennsylvania Lines".

PC is the lessee.

Duhr, I should have known that. Excuse me, I can't brain today, I have the dumb.

All signs point to Des Plaines, center of the N scale universe!
