I don't recall a PRS trip, but OET (now OERM) operated one circa 1968. On the westbound (i.e., going) trip it operated via the Burbank Branch. The train had three F-units for power and included OET's open observation car #599.
I'm sure some of the folks here on Altamont remember it and can provide additional information. Ed Von Nordeck, for sure. I know it's been discussed on Trainorders.com, so anyone who's a member should be able to find the threads by using the search feature.
