Bob, You are correct: The NP definitely had some former PRR cars or perhaps former DT&I cars, I cannot now recall how that went. To my knowledge, having grown up in Minneapolis and kept an eye on trains, I do not ever recall seeing a B&O wagontop box with NP reporting marks. I think the B&O kept its unique cars. Tom

This is documented in one of the NP equipment roster books by sunshine/sunset! However, I did find one in St. Paul (during the past NMRA/NASG convention) above the cut where the museum is rebuilding equipment. It was painted green and is nearly covered with trees. Only a snoopy little photographer would have found it!
