The 1923 ARA car is not the X29. The X29 was proposed and twice rejected. The PRR said screw you, we're building this one anyway. And the PRR continued to march to the sound of it's own drummer for decades afterwards.

Hence, "The Standard Railroad of the World" - you've got to admire their independent spirit.

Phil, it's good to see you working on more steam-era freightcars! Nice work on the B&M logo!
