I compiled a new passenger train consist tonight, from a photo that had a PC express boxcar at the head-end. Since I don't have any PC express boxcars, I decided to convert an old 40' PC boxcar (#253232) into one. That means that I changed one line in the WAG from "Freight" to "Carriage" or "Passenger", whatever it is. I got it right and the game computer's defragging, so I can't check at this second. The next question is, what do I do to the brakes? It's my understanding that an express boxcar has passenger-level brakes and whatnot, so any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
