1644

[Jim Holland]

Greetings!

	Another, and recent message, which I haven't received.  Yes, agreed it
wouldn't happen overnight but it happened mighty fast.  I am hard
pressed to find a car with spare pole after the lines were truncated
within Allegheny County!

	And yes, 1644 retained its forward clamp near the front end of the
trolley cowl for mounting the spare pole.  Might have remained until
disposed of!  And it *probably* never received its roof light before
being demoted.
