Low (Sloping) Floors & Brill & St. Louis Interurbans

[Edward H. Lybarger]

I think only those cars that were converted under the high-speed program got
the new floors.

Greetings!

	Thanks, Ed!  I thought I remembered some *regular* floor cars but
couldn't be sure.

	I do remember waiting downtown for a 42-Dormont and persuaded my mother
to wait for one of the *old cars* - even though she complained that she
got her heels stuck in the slats and even though I really preferred the
most modern cars!
	She was certainly good about it!  And she is the one who introduced us
kids to the 87-Ardmore - she grew up in Homewood!
	I would imagine that it was just the older non-rebuilds that had the
slatted floor as well.
