Car Barns & Car Assignments

[Jim Holland]

Greetings!

	It is definitely a given that car assignments to various Car Houses
frequently changed for a variety of reasons, yet it is interesting to
note and / or speculate on some of the equipment assignments.
	From photo identifications, it appears as though PCCs 1775-1784 were at
Keating in the very early 1950s and Ingram had 1795-1799.  Did
Manchester or Millvale ever have any 17s assigned to them?
	I have a *possible-listing* of car assignments in the early 1950s but
Millvale (closed 1952) and Plummer (closed 1954) are not on the list. 
This compilation has 1775-1792 at Keating with 1793-1799 at Ingram. 
With the closure of Ingram, Keating then had 25 of the 17s and
*probably* all the equipment here was GE equipped.
	Again, for the early 1950s, Manchester is listed as having only 25-10s,
8-14s, and 10-16s.  Even with 20-Rebecca gone, that still leaves 4 good
lines to dispatch and one would think that some 17s might go to the
13-line at least - neighborhood values (like the best cars were to go
out on Mt.Lebanon!!)  <VBG>
