I never saw an A/B train on the Culver. It was always a two car A train.

Although when I broke in on the Culver shuttle as a C/R in 1966, i would suspect that by 1969, all the single A cars were gone and only the 3 car B units were left.

Yes, I remember riding two car Standards on the Culver Shuttle.

Decked roof cars was the giveaway.

There were a few non deck roof cars that were left as single A cars but those were probably long gone by 1966.
