went when
Herron Hill barn closed.

		Greetings!

			According to a list I just found, car 1600 itself is
listed as being
		based at Craft Avenue Car House in the early 1950s  --  half
a century
		ago, guys and gals!  I do have pictures of it with 66 and 68
lines
		destination signs, but that could have been a charter!  Is
there any
		information to substantiate this?

			Also at Craft were 1601-1612 (as was 1613 when it
was pulled for
		interurban modifications!)

			According to the Arden, PRMA, PTM charter list, car
1600 itself was
		their very first charter:  1946.06.23; 1600; PRCo; 37, 38A,
38, 42, 13,
		15, 10, 9.  Who here remembers riding that Charter?
