Greetings!
Don't know who submitted the photo to Dave's site, but I think I saw it
first in the Library of Congress site (http://lcweb.loc.gov/) but I
forget the search parameters I used. That may be where the photo of a
3600 on Dave's site came from. I would imagine that the LOC would be
able to provide hard-copy prints.
There's also other photos of interest @ the LOC like this one on Dave's
site (http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/pitts/htm/pitt604.htm).
Additionally, the previous one was submitted by *Doug* along with these
interesting historic photos, some of which probably came from the LOC:::
This one shows the 4-wheel overhead troller (can't read the first
6-letter word in the *Xxxxxx Rapid Transit Street Railway*):

And this one is supposed to be an RPO car from the Burgh:

These are very similar to ones in the PTM collection:
