Some of my posts have described the joy of collecting transfers from the
motorman's trash bag on the rear platforms of PRC low floor cars.
I hope the attached image is not too large, and gets on the e-mail list.
It's a scan of the results of some of my 1950s scavenging:
1. Car Change Receipt from the shuttle cars that ran on the 16th St.
Bridge during its rebuilding in 1951.
2. Transfer that I picked up on a 12-Evergreen car in 1951.
3. Transfer from last day of 5-Spring Hill. This transfer didn't come
from the trash bag, but from a friendly motorman on the PCC laying over
at the Rhine St. loop. Charlie Dengler was taking photos with me, but I
don't recall if he was a transfer collector.
This all seems like yesterday.
