SVRy sold 5 cars out the 6 ACF cars that were purchased new by SVRy in 1918. RPO #5, Pass and Bagg #10 and #11 were all sold to the US Army for use on the WP&Y 7-28-43. Coaches 25 and 26 were sold after the war 6-30-47. The info I have also says to the US Army, which seems unlikely at that late date. Anyone no for sure on this? RPO #5 was retired from the WP&Y and scrapped in the 1980's I believe. The other 4 cars still ride the rails.
