PSC

  1. They made a 60 foot Harriman coach/RPO which it called a 60-CP-15-1. There isn’t any reference to such a car in either the Pass. Car Vol. I or the SPH&TS Common Standard diagrams of 3/1/33. Looking at the PSC car, it appears to be a 60-C-5 through 60-C-10 that has had it upper windows blanked at the same time one end was converted to an RPO.
