May not answer all of your question but is useful for some of it.

Folks,

Can anyone offer a date when TTX 85 or 89 ft  autoracks would have  
started to show up on the PRR in  quantity?
Perhaps late '61 or '62?

Were some of the old automobile  boxcars used right up to this time?   
Or had the business, as  handled in the old manner,
pretty much dropped away, and was regained  w/autoracks?

Thanks, Fred  R.
