Reply to "Baggage Cars"

Although debatable, I believe this post is appropriate to continue discussions here. The new horse car in Lionel's 2022 catalog  triggered my interest in variations of PRR baggage cars, in particular, the B70a theater. The new Lionel horse car in different road names is generic. Most of the photos of prr horse (b74a) cars I have found have three separate doorways on the side, but there may be two doorway cars I have not seen. What interested me about the Lionel car is that appears to share a feature common with some prr b70a cars, a large end door. The roof and the twin door dimensions are not accurate for a prr b70a project. However, some credit is due Lionel for trying to make a generic verion. I consulted the "passcarphotos" site and found several variations in doorways in the prr mail/baggage cars and repurposing.

Edit: PRR nos. 6060, 6068, 6069, 6072, 6077, 6082, 6089 are an example.
