No, he is PTM Archivist. I'm sure Ed has done his fair share of reading and then some. We all hear about and have seen some books on PRCo. I have always wished someone would write a book specializing in the PRCo interurbans. I think Ed would be the prime choice. If I could only see inside of his head, maybe I could do it quite a few years down the road. Just wish I lived up there still for him to "rub off on me" more. I have learned a great deal from Ed and it's much appreciated. -- "Boris Cefer" wrote: You are a walking library! :-) B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward H.

At the time, the line was operated with a single-truck car, number 207, which was demolished 7-2-20 in a collision with a P&LE locomotive. Car 211 replaced it, but burned on 10-15-21 outside "Schoen's Gate" (entrance to Pressed Steel Car Co.). The following Saturday, the company dragged car 572 across the railroad tracks to replace it. The route is listed as being operated with a single-truck car into 1927, when the data in that column ceases. At some point, car 4344 was brought over and worked up to the end of service. It was maintained on the street at one end of the line. > > Ed
