[PRR-talk] End of automobile boxcars, beginning of autoracks

[zootowerprr at webtv.net]

Fred,

        The first auto racks built on 85' and 89' flats happened in
1960-61. I think Whitehead and Kales built the first auto racks. So I
would say 1963-64 is when you saw huge blocks of auto racks in trains.
Hope this helps...
