Folks,

Attached is the image I was referring to, cropped to show the
car. It has Buckeye ends, and based on the positioning of the "ERIE
LACKAWANNA" lettering, it sure appears to be one of the "PRR X29"-style
cars. Is this a radial roof on this car?

Folks,

I was going through some books over the weekend, and in one of
them I saw something "out of the ordinary" in the background (something
I often find in books! ;)

There was an EL boxcar, primarily an end view, that had what
appeared to be an overly-exaggerated "peak" on the end (i.e., the slope
of the roof panels appeared to be steeper). I will scan in this small
background image tonight to post (cropping out the subject matter!) - it
might be an optical illusion, but it sure looks like a tall peak to
me... Anyone have any thoughts?

- Paul
