Carhouses, Dave's, Etc.

[Kenneth and Tracie Josephson]

There are two more carhouse images at Dave's:

I found some images of M-283 being used in the process of scrapping some PCCs
during the 1960's. I also found more shots of sweepers and other work cars on
the dead line at SHJ. I probably won't be able to scan any of these for
awhile. Our daughter joined her maternal grandparents for a two week trip to
Rochester, New York. Now Tracie and I can go full bore at finishing the
unpacking of stuff we boxed up before our recent remodelling project. Plus I
am installing a new A/C system in my truck, wrapping up some eBay auctions
(Ms. Hill's diesel bus shots are selling for more than her streetcar
images!!!!) and getting ready for the Kenosha fantrip later this month.

Other pix I hope to get posted on Dave's include the removal of rails on Route
87, a disabled car being towed by a line truck(!), street trackage repair,
More SHJ images from various vantage points (how did she get into those areas
the rest of us were chased out of?), some of my December 1979 shots (including
what I believe was a ride with Herb- he wore a full uniform and blew two longs
a short and a long at all the grade crossings on the Library line) and perhaps
some Pittsburgh Official Guide pages from 1948.)

Since Dave is literally up to his eyeballs in Pittsburgh PCCs, I will be
sending him more Midwestern and museum stuff for now. I will continue to send
him Pittsburgh work car images.

I have a shot of a forlorn M-11 with broken windows. The photo is dated 1966.
Did this car really survive that long? If so, who do I send my daughter to
kick in the shins for allowing it to be scrapped? :-)
