This note from John Smith President of the Durban & Greenbrier
Railroad P&WV #1348 circa: RK. 1960.
_______________________________________________________________

We are excited to debut our second restored 40’ boxcar!
For this repaint we chose to honor the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad. Centered in Pittsburgh, PA and Wheeling, WV
the P&WV served the area’s prolific steel industry.
We would like to thank the P&WV Technical and Historical interest Group
and Big E Productions’s Eric Schlentner
for providing all lettering artwork and documentation for this project.

We would also like to recognize local artisan Eric Werner,
who masterfully painted all lettering by hand and without stencils, DGVR’s Billy Cassell and the entire
DGVR track crew who scraped, prepped and painted the car.

Interesting little story on this car...

The original PS-1 P&WV boxcars when built and received at Rook Yard
all had 6' seven -panel doors, boxcar oxide red. Almost all of these cars when re-shopped after 1956 were painted gloss black w/S-O-S logo.

The old color slide of #1348 (when you look close)
has only 5-panels. On one side only. (Dallas TX. circa: Aug.1961)

The late Larry Kline tells us this car was damaged and repaired, on a foreign western road.
The replacement (repair/repaint-job) used a matching 6' five-panel door.
Larry K's collection included this original color slide w/ detailed notes.
