Passenger Cars
The P-RSL inherited the following from the WJ&S:
- 71 PRR-Type P-70 passenger cars №'s 9865-9936 (steel, 44 seats)
- 21 PRR-Type PB-70 passenger-combines Cars №'s 9938-9958 (steel, 40 seats) 9959-9962 (steel, 40 seats)
- 17 various PRR-Type mail and baggage cars №'s 25 (steel underfame), 6403 (steel), 6428-6438 (steel), 9963-9966 (steel)
Additional passenger cars were leased as needed from P-RSL's parent companies, PRR and RDG, and sometimes from the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ).
The PRSL did not own any of the P70’s that carried its name. They were leased from the WJ&S. The passenger cars of the P-RSL were painted Tuscan Red. This is a brick-colored shade of red.

Famous quotes containing the words passenger and/or cars:
“Every American travelling in England gets his own individual sport out of the toy passenger and freight trains and the tiny locomotives, with their faint, indignant, tiny whistle. Especially in western England one wonders how the business of a nation can possibly be carried on by means so insufficient.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
