There were many into the Conrail era in work service and such, a quick check of a couple books showed several in 1974. I'm guessing you mean actually carrying revenue freight though. There were some still in service into the 60's. In Mail and Express service they were around until at least the end of the PRR in 1968. Be careful of any roster lists that list X29b's though. They were a class of rebuilds where the PRR basically jacked up the number and built a new car under it. Jamie Bothwell Back in Bethlehem with 5 new X29's ________________________________
