conclusion that the Monon did not get them all, but didn't pursue what the NYS&W did with the remainder of them. I've always been of the opinion that Pullman Standard had something to do with the sale because of the way the Monon cars were painted. They had black ends. Only new cars delivered to the Monon by P-S had black ends. All other cars painted by the Monon had ends the same color as the car sides. This is purely speculation. Mont -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [STMFC] NYS&W 501-524 40ft steel boxcars Mont, the car in the circa 1980 photo matches those features, but we're talking about 30 years later! By 1959 the NYSW only showed two cars remaining of those 35 PS-1's they bought in 1952. What happened to the other 8 is a mystery... the #526 could be either the #401 or #402, which were still on the roster in 1972! Tim:they may have become Monon 541 - 565. An equipment diagram note reads as9-21-56."
