No, it was 1760 which broke down near Avon Ln. inbound. It had to be
pushed by 1713 outbound to Brookside Siding. You had to be on 1760 as
you sent me a couple photos of it broken down near Avon Ln. and 
another taken from 1760 as it sat on the outbound track at the siding
of 1713 before it passed using the inbound track. What happened after 
that if you hung around to find out. I should have stated "break down"
instead of "mishap". Great photos though.

Mark,

WHICH mishap at Brookside?  I photographed many of them from 1972-83 
when I 
daily rode 36-Drake. Some were simple breakdowns and I got off the 
trolley 
and walked home, or called home for a ride.  I don't remember many 
times 
when PAT provided a shuttle bus for the people stranded by the 
breakdown.

Are you referring to the photos I took from inside a 1700 headed 
inbound at 
Brookside?
