This also ensured that cars would not be unsafely overloaded which could cause complications while enroute to a destination. AAR rules dictated cars should be reweighed on a regular schedule. This sheet was created to help replicate that for modelers of the PRR's Circle Keystone era. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sheet includes data for 6 different scale locations from across the PRR System (P18: Camden, NJ; P129: Northumberland, PA; P243: Shire Oaks, PA; P270: Wheeling, WV; P283: Ebenezer, NY; P341: Conway, PA) and 12 different reweigh dates (8\/33, 6\/35, 12\/38, 9\/40, 2\/41, 4\/42, 12\/43, 9\/47, 8\/49, 11\/51, 5\/53, 10\/55).

There were some heavy-duty flatcars which received Penn Central and later Conrail marks that were token icon cars. Before the mergers of the 1960’s the C\u0026amp;O and NYC were close working partners. The C\u0026amp;O Had a fleet of Greenville well hole flatcars built, which the NYC purchased two cars from, and later when a larger capacity version was created, the NYC also had one built for them as well. This gave the NYC two 52-foot-long Greenville well hole flatcars and one 62-foot-long Greenville well hole flatcar. These cars survived into Penn Central and all three eventually got PC Green painted with black trucks, which they remained in for the rest of their service lives. One of the 55-foot cars did receive Conrail marks.
