After looking at Bob Coolidge's pictures of PRR special trains to the 1964 Army-Navy football game, as well as his own collection of pictures of Army-Navy fottball game special trains, a friend recently asked a question that I could not answer with certainty:
Why did PRR borrow passenger cars from other railroads, such as LIRR, NH and B&O, for use in special trains to the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend?
Was the need for passenger cars for this event so great that it exceeded even the Pennsy's capacity and car supply?
