Greetings!

	A discussion about the Trafford line revealed an *Express*
operation
during the rush hour.  I have seen photos of PRCo PCC cars with such a
sign displayed (probably a charter) and the interesting fact about that
sign is that part of it has a red background, white letters, which makes
it suspect as to be an PRCo original!

	Did PRCo ever use colored backgrounds on the destination signs
on a
regular basis (not just an experiment?)  I am only familiar with white
letters on the black background!
