We are talking about two different cars here. The Harriman’s were used on both the SP and UP railroads. Originally they had a upper sash glass that was later plated over. On the end platforms, the letter board runs continuously to the end of the car. This results in a door that is short. If these cars ended up at high level platform the passengers have to duck under the letter board to get on to the station platform. The cars that were built for the San Francisco to San Jose commute service never had upper sash and the letter board stops short of the platform. This results in a full height door. These cars are known as Subs, not Harrimans. The Subs are the cars recently made by GGD and are the cars used at the Grand Canyon.
