I'm inclined to say "no". A plug door has to travel laterally to unplug. The door supports on the bottom of this car door do not seem to allow for this. Note also that the vertical rod does not go all the way to the bottom to a track-riding lever arm, so it could not unplug the bottom of the door. I've seen pictures of a PRR wooden car with a similar arrangement. If I can recall where, I will investigate to see if that car could have been plug door or did it too fail the test at the bottom. regards, Andy Miller
