Chrysler cars:  Tunnel:  1451, 1623, 1635, 1661
                Craft:  1556, 1607
                Keating:  1488, 1496, 1678

Hillside Dodge:  1605

F8 (ex W&C) scrapped 1961 with M282, M453, M701, M17, M24, M26, M32, M35.  
W&C 201-204 became PRC 3551-3554, then PRC F6-F9.  Photo F7(?) in ERA 
publication on PRC interurban lines shows arch bar trucks.  Jim H was right 
- trucks were changed in later years.
