The PRR cars (as well as N&W, L&N & RF&P) were 4140 cars. The NP &
SP cars were Plan 4140-C cars. While the loading diagram was the same
(215) the location of the general toilet was different. In the
4140-C cars the toilet was in the middle of the car (best ride in the
car!) - hence a small window there. The 4140 cars had the toilet
next to the vestibule - hence the small window there (and on the
other side of the car). So it was a different side.
BTW, those 4140 cars were all painted PRR Tuscan - so not all Tuscan
sleepers were PRR. You may know, Walthers is producing a variety of
through cars - including the 10-5s.
