Greetings

Reference available PCC cars:  There was a project in
Colorado Springs which I believe is not progressing.
They moved a number of operational SEPTA PCC's
there.  Worth checking out.  The gauge can be changed.
Rys to Yesterday changed their SEPTA car to standard
with their own forces.

Ref Pgh Rys #1465:  Why blame it on PAT?.  There is
no white Port Authority sticker on the side of the car.
Try to remember the actual condition of PRC cars at
the time of takeover.  A question to Ed Lybarger-Was
this car transferred to PAT?

Ref Pgh Rys #1111:  PAT never acquired #1111 but we did
have a 35' New Look bus #1111.  When we were doing
our various advertising promotions in the 1970's, I sold
the advertising rights to this bus to TV channel 11 in
Pittsburgh.  They had a slogan of "the Ones to watch"
which was then painted on the bus with their message.
They used this bus for various promotions when it was
not in regular service.
