Yes, one of ten X42 mail storage cars built from box car components.  This was an experiment by the PRR as an alternative to building additional (more expensive) baggage cars.  Note the BX express trucks.  The X42 also had steam and train signal lines.

There were plans for this car in a '50s MR, you can find it with the Kalmbach site article search.
