Stumbled across the following while looking for something else last night:

  --------------------------

PAT Light Rail Car Roster dtd 26 Mar 1980 lists 1798 as X1613 and 1799 as
X1640.

PAT Light Rail Car Roster dtd 14 May 1982 lists 1798 as X1613 and 1799 as
X1640.

(Both are internal memos from PAT's Transit Operations Division and
initialled OWM:MJS.  Would OWM be Oliver Miller who then worked for PAT?)

   -----------------------------
