Not entirely true.  The first photo shows (from left to right) a Class H21 but the car on the right is a Class GL twin.  The hoppers in the second photo are NOT PRR.

In the second photo one can read "P&R" on the second hopper. The first one has an "H" and a "4" below it. It is a twin hopper. Maybe other can read more, but paint looks like it has received a lot of from fires to thaw the loads.

P&R car is either an HTd or HTf (hard to tell from that angle).

Third photo is interesting for the large "COKE" lettering on the H21a, and the N&W HM behind it (which also show up in the first pic).

       What I like about the NYC gon is the extensive chalk marks. They appear to be arithmetic about the light weight - or some kind of weight.

Hello Steam Era Modelers:  I just wanted to point out that the "Coke" version of the H21 hopper car in the third photo can be modeled with a Westerfield Models Kit #3201, which includes two sizes of the "Coke" lettering.
 
Thank you,
Andrew Dahm

Ben, I'm surprised you didn't remind Schuyler that there are no dashes in PRR classes. Surely he should have written "Hsomethings" instead of "H-somethings" ;>) Jack Mullen
