Re: H21 Hopper Cars: PRR and who else??!

During WWII according to the ORER the VGN leased I think around 100 H-21 hoppers, however the numbers weren't known and only a series was listed. Bowser produced the cars with the fantasy scheme that was drawn by John Teichmuller, however given wartime and the urgent need for cars, the only change to the cars would have been a paint over of the PRR reporting marks and VGN put in their place keeping the PRR number. Speculation has the cars coming down the Delmarva peninsula and transferring to the VGN at Norfolk.
