Quoting from "Subject 19:"

"Although the transporting of cash in this pay car involves somewhat of a
risk, many precautions are taken to protect the payroll funds.  A total of
five men comprises the crew of the pay car at all times when it is being
used.  Tear gas and modern firearm protection are provided within the car to
defend against any possible attack.  The benefit of these precautions is
reflected in the excellent record of this division."

I recall an inquiry here a few years ago from a gun collector who had one of
the guns, wanting to establish the authenticity of the "PRCo" that was
stamped on it.

To change the subject...in filing some of the old Way Department records, I
came across some (bad) company photos of Drake Loop being constructed.  If
there's any interest, I'll scan a few and send them to Derrick for posting.
