The PTM Library has recently received a copy of the 1937-38 "Pittsburgh
Railways Company Course in Organization, Equipment and Methods." This
25-chapter compendium was apparently prepared for managerial or supervisory
personnel, and could well have been a 6-month course in how the company was
run. Fred and I both have working copies and will be reading them as time
permits; we'll share some of the more interesting stuff.
Today's quiz:
How did PRCo determine low floor car mileage for maintenance inspections?
a) Hub odometer readings
b) Trainmen's records
c) Wheel diameter measurements
d) Watt-hour meter readings
e) Calendar days since last inspection
