There is a PC E-8 unit in Bellevue, OH sitting on a siding just a ways down from the NS's huge yard there. I only live about 20 minutes from there, so I'll see if I can't get over there and grab a shot or two.

Re: C425 5067.
The single class light says it's PRR, now if I could only find my Conrai book to verify the PC number!

I saw a PC coil steel car today in Harision, NJ. It should be in Croxton tonight. The car has CR marks and number but the rest of the car was green. The coil covers were pure CR though.
