Yes, indeed, a PRR F23. The rivets on the deck end any doubt, as does the shortness of the carbody. In largely as-built form, including the arch bar trucks and safety chains.
Great find, Bob! Good eyes, Claus!

Hi Bob and List members,
If you zoom in enough, under the last A in PENNSYLVANIA, you can make our the class markings - it is a PRR class F23 flat, series 435445-435450 (6 cars).
The road number can be found over the left-most truck, but it is difficult to read, apparently both faded and dirty, it might read 4354X0, with the X obscured by the wire rope, in which case this is car 435450, but I would not bet a whole lot of money on that last part.
