Re: Updated 1944 USRA single sheathed cars

Jim,

The details came directly from James Lane's original work in the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society’s “Railroad History, No. 128” published Spring 1973. This has been considered as a primary source for many years on this discussion list and predecessor lists.

This list shows 9760 assigned to the Pennsylvania. Other sources say 9900. The ORER for October 1944 apparently shows more than the 9760 still running. Where were the other 140?

These later tabulations of the USRA single-sheathed boxcars are great resources. As a starting point, the original USRA car assignment details are available on this resource page.
