sure which from the E-L."

These were converted from 50 ft automobile cars by Erie Meadville PA shops
in 1960, and purchased by PRR in 1965.  These were unique cars among the
late PRR stockcar fleet, with single doors, Viking corrugated roofs, and
Buckeye ends.  See Richard Burg's "The Last Stand of Stock Cars in the East"
in the January 1993 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman for photos and roster
information.
