The name "Turtleback" came from actual Seaboard documents (a roster, I believe)
referring to the cars... it was a name used by the Seaboard only to reference
them.
And I understand that the PRR car was more plentiful than the SAL car... but
I don't model the PRR, and never will. So I'm leaving "ALL" non-southeastern
prototypes to you PRR fans... only models of southeastern roads will come from
me... if ever any models come from me in the first place.

John & List,
I am not sure where the nickname Turtleback came from, but the PRR X31f
version http://mywebpages.comcast.net/billlane/PRR_X31f.jpg is IMHO more
apparent then the SAL version as shown on John's project website. The roof
was raised to accept the shipment of Jeeps if I remember correctly.
The PRR had over 600 still active by 1957
