Posted by irtredbirdr33 on Sun Nov 2 18:49:54 2025, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] PART TWO: The Hudson & Manhattan Railroad, posted by Bill Newkirk on Sun Nov 2 16:05:12 2025. Bill: There seems to be some discrepancy in the designation of the PRR cars. The following sources say MPR-51: Hudson & Manhattan RR, Morning Sun Books 2012, Railway Passenger Car Annual 1975, PATH Two Decades of Progress, ERA Bulletin 1982. The following source says MP-52: Electric Railroads Magazine 1959, Rail Under The Hudson 2002. Does anyone have access to a direct PRR source? Another thing about the MP-38's. H&M had a Class D car type built in 1911 by Pressed steel Car Co and retired in 1958 when the Class K's came in. They were 36 cars numbered #701 - #736 but were painted red. I've never seen any photos of them. Did they look like the MP-38's ? They were made to run with the MP-38's much like the MP-51's and Class K car arrangement. The Class D's were virtually identical to the MP-38's. They were painted red though in later years this was covered by steel dust so they looked almost black. There is a photo of them on page 24 of the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Book I mentioned above. E-mail me. I can send you some information about the arly PATH cars. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
