PRC recollections

[brathke at juno.com]

Growing up, I was fascinated by the technique that PRC used to clear the
street of automobiles that parked too close to the trolley right of way. 
An orange PRC truck would show up, and the driver would put a jack on the
front bumper of the car, jack it up until the front wheels were above the
pavement, and he'd push the car toward the curb until it fell off the
jack.  Then he'd repeat this on the rear bumper.  I saw this happen many
times, often on Fifth Avenue downtown.  I assume that the PRC truck(s)
cruised downtown streets, especially during the rush hour, looking for
cars blocking trolley traffic.
