The picture is of a 4800-4939 series car. The above picture is neither 3555 nor 4800-4939 series but the car is 3556. The same photo shows in ERA Headlights July 1952 issue - a reprint of which is available from PTM. This car, 3556, is 50-52 feet in length. The 4800-4939 series was the standard length low-floor car - check window count. > > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Subject: PRCo 2100 & 3556 > Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 17:36:33 -0800 > From: Jim Holland <pghpcc@pacbell.net> > Reply-To: pittsburgh-railways@dementia.org > To: PRCo -- WP -- JTC -- The Big *3* -- <pittsburgh-railways@dementia.org> > > Greetings! > > Good old ISP is acting up again.
