Brill Interurbans 3700--3714

[Jim Holland]

Greetings!

	Whatever you find interesting in the book would be an excellent place
to start.  Charlie Brown has expressed an interest in the work
equipment.  What about some details for the freight equipment?  If your
book is 1924, freight was still very active - think it went out about
1939 - could check but too late now!  This may have been a peak time for
PRCo so much of that information would have some appeal!
