Kato UP FEF #844

[wcfn100]

Through one interchange point?

I only transcribed the cars that were billed to or from Waterloo, IA or any Stations south of there.

For example a car from Chicago to Des Moines or from Kansas City to St, Paul.  I wouldn't have any St. Paul to Chicago movements or vice versa.

The good thing about the PRR is that it's one RR I don't have to worry about modeling anything because other people are doing or me.  I've already got two prototype gondolas and ESMCo will have the DF car I want in the next release.  All that leave is some sort of flat car car and 3-4  box cars, of which there are a few choices already.

The one hiccup is getting PK decorated cars for the late 60's.

Nah, 10,000 car movements logged for the CGW, PRR is under 2%.

All these roads are ahead of it.

I'd like to understand this better.   The PRR had an enormous freight car fleet.  What do train
movements have to do with the likelihood of seeing a PRR car in a train?   I found a few online book references saying that the PRR owned between 10% and 12% of the total freight cars in the entire country.    I also know that just from watching a variety of railroad videos, (particularly of NP and SP&S trains because that's what I model now), I very often see PRR boxcars in those trains even though they are nowhere near Pennsylvania.

    Kato (Katoo) is actually going to do the Bessiler Staem Rail Car. You have to be either a New Haven fanzee  or look it up on the net. A way cool train, almost as cool as the old 1930's German "Fast Flying Hamburger" Train. Nate Goodman (Nato).

I'm not much of a New Haven fan, being a not-so-knowledgeable SPF, but it looks like a cool prototype to produce, especially if someone made a sound decoder for it.
