[PRCo] Re: WP 832

[John Swindler]

The curved side cars were leased to West Penn Railways.  May have been owned 
and leased by another corporation within the West Penn corporate structure.  
(Where's Ed when you need him.  oh yes, enroute from Harrisburg to little 
Washington.)  But as I understand it, would not appear on West Penn Railway 
accounts as a depreciable asset.  It would appear as a leased property.

Ed has the details.
