Question for Pennsy people
Author: WrongWayMurphy

What does the 100 above the word Pennsylvania mean ? 
This is on a live steam 1.6" scale boxcar, and the owner doesn't even know why the 100 is there.

Truly, asking for a friend.

Looks like when the right door is open, the 100,000 lb load limit is covered up, but the 100 stays visible.

That's my WAG.

This looks like an automobile box car. Notice at the bottom it read "When empty return to a city". The 100 would be for an auto assembly plant. A lot of auto parts box cars in the 1970's and 1980's had a number code for the assembly plants. This is my guess and I am sticking to it.

I'm more concerned why there is a dot or period above the center of the 100?
I'm so confused!
