I found this photo taken October 29, 1989 by Mike Guss. It shows SOO 411 GP9 and SOO 1527 ex MILW MP15AC on the Ford Line trestle in St Paul MN: I'm not sure if the leading three cars are Greenville 6000s or something else. The first car is indeed a CPAA Greenville, second a MILW exterior post car so not a Greenville. NW third car also not a Greenville - appears to be one of the 50' offset double plug door PS-1s that were ubiquitous on that road. Doug Stark

As an addendum to my information about the Erie Lackawanna cars, I would like to note that like most cars in auto parts service, the assignments for the EL cars changed through the years. By 1974, they were not all assigned to Monroe MI. Many were assigned to other Ford plants, including Warren MI (PC), Sharonville OH (PC), Indianapolis IN (PC), Ypsilanti MI (PC), Owosso MI (AA), Dearborn MI (DT&I), Lima OH (DT&I), Nashville TN (L&N), and Rawsonville MI (N&W). As such, they could be seen across most of the EL system from Mahwah NJ west.

Those N&W 50 footers were common on the line then as they appear in several other photos.
