[PRCo] Jones DE Cars on Rt. 56B

It appears I only photted one DE car on 56B—it was 4397, in April of 1953. 56B had only a month or so left at that time—its total life span was about six months.  I think there were at least two cars required to run the route, maybe even three.

I made a mistake in my earlier comment about the ten or so DE Jones cars that were speeded up.  That took place earlier than I had stated.  What happened near the end of the Jones car era was that some, AIR ten, of the speeded up DE cars were kept for the reserve which I mentioned.
