I do have an earlier catalog that is not listed but it has the same info as later 1957 and 1958 brochures about the passenger cars.

Ken, it looks like a OK Passenger car. I don't think this coach is listed here but some of the other OK Herkimer and Kaisner cars are.

I'd like to 2nd catfordken's question.
O.K. stands for..........._________________?

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
