    After a little research, I believe this car to be a type 148XL from MP series 254650 – 254899. These were built by Pacific Car & Foundry as lot 2866 in 1978. If this info is correct, the car was possibly originally numbered as MP 254705.

    Here is the link to a photo that I found of the 254803 with FSR reporting marks.

    Anyone care to verify or offer a correction?
