Nostalgia & History > New matched set PC's . . .Date: 10/15/20 12:55 New matched set PC's . . . Author: 3rdswitch . . . during a visit to La Grange, IL, in summer '72, these new looking PC units were in the middle of an IHB train, even though these look new, I wonder, are they rebuilds?

Dash-2 spotting features, water sight glass on first door under the radiators and the angled roof overhang on the rear of the cab roof.
