These cars were intended to be renumbered as #7400-#7429, but these numbers were not applied and the cars retained their PRR numbers until being converted to HEP in 1981 or otherwise retired (27 were converted). Under Amtrak ownership, these 30 cars were regularly assigned to the CLOCKERS. The car on the left was built as PRR #1587, to PC #1587, to Amtrak #7417 (not applied), converted to HEP #7607 in September 1981.
