I spoke for a while with Mr. Pontius (who I've known for decades) about the issue.

So here is the pertinent question:
Are there any ex-PRR P70 coaches and/or PRR RPO cars (class BM-70 and various sub-classes) either available for acquisition or available for valuation for replacement value should legal action proceed? The RPO in Columbia, Pa. is a prospect if it stays intact and extant long enough. The closest "available" P70 I know of is down on the Cape May Seashore Lines, which 1) means it may have to be trucked/"flatcared" out, and I don't know if it belongs to URHS-NJ or CMSL..................

If you actually HAVE an unutilized PRR P70 on your back lot, odds are the RRers Memorial Museum in Altoona may have come by asking about it already..............

There is an x PRR RPO car displayed in Springfield, Oregon next to the restored Southern Pacific depot. It is lettered for the SP. One online source claims it is a x PRR BM70KA class (Waymarking), road number not known.

That car is about as PRR as it gets. How the heck did it wind up out there?

While not a P-70 coach, here is another ex PRR passenger car that could be in danger of scrapping. The blunt end observation, buffet bedroom car William Wallace Atterbury is currently on the Iowa Pacific Holdings auction list. The car is in Alamosa CO, and is in surprisingly good shape and intact for a circus car. Most light fixture lenses and hardware are/is in the car but not necessarily in place. -Kevin Moore
