PCC Cars -- and Roger's Website

[Robert E. Rathke]

I lived a block from the 5-Spring Hill line, and rode the trolleys every
day.  I can  recall seeing a 1700 on Spring only once - around 1949 when
they were new, and probably on a demonstration run.

A few weeks ago questions were being asked about 1700s on 40-Mt.
Washington.  The other day I found a slide I took of a 1700 on route 40
in 1965.
