I've read that Penn Central operated a NY and Buffalo RPO over the former NYC that was discontinued Nov. 4, 1969, a NY and Springfield RPO over the former NH that was discontinued Dec. 4, 1969, and a Pittsburgh and Chicago RPO over the former PRR that was discontinued June 26, 1970. I was wondering if anyone might know the numbers of the specific trains that carried these RPOs. The information that I have found only lists the dates the RPOs where discontinued but not the train numbers that carried them. Thanks.

I emailed Frank on the matter, and he is out of town for a few days, but said he would check into it.
