I'm of the thinking that the 1700s were much better constructed than the air-electric cars. Also worthy of researching is the differences (if any) between the 1700-series city cars and the 1700-series interurban cars. A project for sometime later when I have more time and the weather improves. <br>

Subject: [PRCo] PRCo Some PCC Crashes<br>
<br>
Herb and Fred may find these interesting or not. Seems like its takes a big<br>
truck to "dent" a PCC.<br>
<br>
Mr. Lyberger, does the museum archives have files from PRCo or PAT<br>
regarding accidents?<br>
