<DIV><BR></DIV>Dave Hamley was the expert on which barns had which
equipment. I can only give generalizations.<BR><BR>In the early
1950s they were all Westinghouse except that Manchester, Keating, Millvale and
Ingram had as many of the 165 GE cars as they could use and the remainder were
at Homewood. Homewood was logical because the central parts storeroom was one
block down the street. <BR><BR>At some point, those rules were
changed. Seems to me that once Keating, which was the last totally
GE barn, closed, its cars wound up at Tunnel. But I
could be blowing hot air. I do know that the GE 1700s sat out of
service for a while at Tunnel but there may have been some GE 1600s assigned
there for a while too.<BR><BR>I thought what went into storage at Ingram may
have been any tens and elevens that were no longer needed, regardless of
electrical apparatus.<BR><BR>I sent a blind carbon to Dave. If he
chooses to answer me, he can and then I will post his answer.<BR><BR>Fred

<BR>> Fred<BR>> <BR>> I was at Ingram during the last week and saw
the tow car bringing in one of them. It would be interesting to know
what cars (and in what condition) remained at Ingram after the shutdown--or
more importantly after connection to the West End was severed. I assume PRC
removed the best of what was there prior to that, and that most of it went to
Keating since Ingram was a GE facility AFAIK.<BR>> <BR>>

56<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I just had a conversation with Ed … the
usual family type conversation … how are the kids and wife etc. … but I also
wanted to find out something else and that was, where was the end of the
elevated in Dravosburg. I had seen a picture looking onto the Mon
River bridge from the west end showing the elevated structure and a curve in
it. Ed's answer was the el only came off the bridge parallel to
McClure Street, curved around parallel to Maple Avenue and then
ended. <BR>> <BR>> The tracks that Ed mentioned
existing today in Brick paving are in Maple Avenue.<BR>> <BR>> The
private right-of-way that trended northwest to southeast from 3rd and Richland
down to Maple near Hill Street appears to have become the four lane approach
to the new Mansfield Bridge in 1948. The new
construction simple curved eastward and wiped out the old Hill Street and
whatever was in its path and went onto the new bridge. <BR>>
<BR>> Now if I could just figure out who that sexy 17-year-old morsel
was that I photographed in 1959 about to climb on a PCC at the Horseshoe Curve
above Dravosburg. She looked at me and said, "Should I
smile?" And you guys know what a 19-year-old on leave from the
army had on his mind at that moment and it's wasn't 1056. (Picture
attached) (Hard to believe she would be 72 now.) This
was the same day that the West End lines were running their last trips and
therefore this was the end for the 1000s and 1100s as soon as the equipment
shuffle took place. (<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
