West Penn 700s --- Towing

[Jim Holland]

Greetings!

	What provision was made for towing a WP--700 - or any WP car for that
matter?  A provision for a tow-bar is not evident on the 700s; it
appears that something similar to the PCC might be used on 290 where a
pin might be inserted thru a bar in the anticlimber.
	Can you imagine towing 719 around the corner it is negotiating in the
upper photo, pg.32 of *PA-Trolleys In Color - Pgh. Region* by Volkmer?!
