In case anyone is interested, I own some negatives shot by the late
Roberta Hill. They show Johnstown PCC bodies in what appears to be a
salvage yard along a river. Car 401 is painted up for Civil Defense. The
rest of the bodies are painted in the JTC orange and cream. The pictures
are dated Tuesday, March 14,1967. Frankly, these bodies appear to be in
better condition than some of cars running in Pittsburgh during 1967.
