Beaver Valley Traction

[Edward H. Lybarger]

BVT bought 12 low-floor cars (400-411) from St. Louis in 1916.  They came to
PRCo in 1923 and had a "4" installed before the old number.

Greetings!

	My roster indicates that PRCo car 4200 was leased to Beaver Valley
Traction on 1915.12.15 and was returned 5-17 (I assume that is May of
1917.)  The few photos I have seen show more than this one low-floor car
in Beaver.
	Did BVT purchase these new?
	Also, there were cars remarkably similar to 3556 on BVT as well, but
fully double-end if I am not mistaken.  Does anyone have more
information on any of these cars?
