PRR X42 Twin Door Mail/Express #2540
Title:  PRR X42 Twin Door Mail/Express #2540
Description:  This is a rare color slide of the X42 series of twin door mail/express service car. Only 10 were built for the Pennsylvanian RR. The X42 was created following WW2 when head-end mail and express traffic took off across the nation. For the PRR it was cheaper to build a boxcar with twin door spacing and dimensions similar to a B60 baggage car for bulk mail shipments. This unique boxcar was classed as an X42, and 10 of the 60' cars were built between August and September of 1950, series 2540-2549. Equipped with steam and signal lines like an express car, it was initially painted in the Circle Keystone Scheme used for freight. However, in a May 1951 paint & lettering diagram, the scheme was made obsolete when all X42 were repainted into a unique Tuscan Red Passenger scheme. The car sides and ends were painted Tuscan Red. The roof, underbody, and trucks were painted black. The side lettering was Gold Leaf and the end lettering was white. All 10 X42’s were later painted into the Shadow Keystone Scheme with some later receiving the Plain Keystone monogram as well. The entire fleet The entire fleet of 10 cars lasted into Penn Central. (Source: Mount Vernon Shops). The X42s were considered passenger equipment and were carried on the passenger equipment roster and do not appear in the Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER). of 10 cars lasted into Penn Central. (Source: Mount Vernon Shops) An unknown photographer took this color slide.
