Reply to "Should GGD rerelease the Harriman cars?"

I believe that the Harriman car roofs have a higher arch to the roof. The SF to SJ line was to be electrified, like the East Bay, LA , Marin County and Portland lines were.  The Subs were to have electrical equipment added. Some of the cars had end windows for cabs. By the time of retirement all of these had been plated over. I assume the plan was to put pantograph on them, like the East Bay cars. A high arch roof would be detrimental to this plan.
