Double Deckers

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Beware the error in this brochure...the car builder is wrong!
McGuire-Cummings built the last five DD cars.

Greetings!

	Just re-reading the 8-page booklet about PRCo's 6000 series double
deckers.  Didn't realize this before but these six cars were the largest
'fleet' of such cars in the country!

	There are two photos in the booklet showing 6000 being pulled by a 3600
series wood Kuhlman interurban (6000 itself was originally built as a
trailer but was motorized later in the year!)  In one of the photos an
*EAST PITTSBURG* sign is hanging on the rear of 6000 (please note that
this Pgh. native did  N-O-T  drop the "H" - it is actually spelled that
way in the photo which is very clear!!)

	I am wondering if the 3600s might have seen more regular service to
other parts of Pgh than the interurban lines?!
