Title:  PRR H34c 257971
Description:  Pennsylvania Railroad Class H34c 257971 on the BN at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. According to the October 1971 issue of the Official Railway Equipment Register, this was one of 377 LO type self-clearing covered hoppers in the 257701-258100 number series. Of those cars, 272 were rated at 140,000 pounds capacity, and 105 were rated at 154,000 pounds, with individual car numbers and capacity noted in Note 192. The car quantity doesn't match the car number series due to bad orders and/or wrecks. This car was stenciled as built 4-58.

PRR X31A 497329
Title:  PRR X31A 497329
Description:  PRR X31A 497329, Columbus, Indiana, February 4, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This is an example of a PRR X31A boxcar. Unfortunately, the number does not cross reference to any information I have, so I assume the 497000 number series is company service. It is stencilled: P-62 8-66 ENGINE SAND ONLY BLT 4-36

PRRZ 550022
Title:  PRRZ 550022
Description:  PRRZ 550022 at Lincoln, Nebraska on February 8, 1963, photo by Jim C. Seacrest, Chuck Zeiler collection. I'm guessing that Jim either submitted this photo or intended to submit it for publication because there is a detailed description attached to the back of the print which reads as follows:

On February 8, 1963 CB&Q passenger train local east #8 carries meat behind the passenger consist in three different types of cars; regular refirgerator car, container on flats (new for the CB&Q), and piggyback. Once in a while meat from Lincoln, Nebraska meatpackers misses the connection to Omaha and Q's new solid meat train to Chicago. So, to fulfill its contract, the Q takes the Lincoln meat up to Omaha on the back of one of its passenger trains. If the meat still misses its Omaha connection, then it rides with Q's passenger #8 all the way to Chicago. On the day this pix was taken, there were ten cars of meat plus a waycar (caboose) behind the passenger train out of Lincoln. So far, this rare event happens once ot twice a month. Editors note: The lower keystone on the front of the trailer reads: ETLC EXCELSIOR TRUCK LEASING CO.

Title:  PRR N6B 981731
Description:  PRR N6B 981731 at Union Station in Chicago, Illinois on November 30, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Below the road number it is stencilled: NORTHWESTERN REGION. Below the nearest side window it is stencilled: BLT 4-14 M6B PRR. I could not make out the smaller lettering. It was unusual to see a cabin car in Union Station.
