Nice compilation. The 2nd RDG car you gotta look out for is 293. Originally it was supposed to be the PRR HU but someone in the backshops or whatever either wanted it on a PC car instead or there was a mixup in the shops, So either way they made it a 2nd RDG car claiming "We liked it so much we made 2" but if you look closely you'll see the keystone outline behind the diamond... boy is it an eye sore up close but at a distance you don't notice it. I was likely one of the 1st railfans to spot it as I was after the PC car in Lansdale. Saw a shiny IV so I assumed it was 280... the number said otherwise.
Thanks and I see. I figured there was a second one but I wasn't sure. Oh so that's what happened. So it's got a keystone logo being the Reading. Kinda like a faded logo look and that's pretty interesting. Yeah I bet it is once you see it up close. Oh that's pretty cool that you were one of the first to see it. Thanks for the history behind 293. I'll be on the lookout for it.
