[PRR-talk] Westinghouse shipments

Chris Chany asked:

> When was WECX 201 built?

WECX 201 was built in 1961. There was also a similar car, WECX 200, that 
was built in 1957 at Greenville, PA. It appears that both of these cars 
were used to deliver transformers from both the Sharon and Muncie 
plants. WECX 200 was a 12-axle car, and WECX 201 was a longer, 14-axle car.

BTW, I mistyped earlier when I said Concept Models makes a model of WECX 
201. They actually make a model for WECX 200.

Here's a web site with lots of info about Schnabel cars (where I found 
much of the above info). You can click the links on this page for WECX 
200 and WECX 201 for more pictures and info about these cars:
