Eastern Railroad Discussion > Does anyone recognize this car, RPCX 2949?Date: 03/03/13 13:02 Does anyone recognize this car, RPCX 2949? Author: pbrasky [Passenger] car RPCX 2940 arrived in Kingston Yard (MP 88.8, CSXT's NJ Sub, nee CR Riverline, Kingston, N.Y.) on either Friday, March 1 or Saturday, March 2. It's still there and has no other data stenciled on its fading green body + peeling silver roof. However, there is a sloppily painted over flattened diamond logo between the last window and door in this view (looking to the northeast). It does have a diesel generator mounted on the undercarriage and all windows appear to be heavily weathered, translucent plexiglass.
