WP & PRCO--Low--Floor Colors --- Tribute to West Pe nn by Wagn...

[Fredbruhn at aol.com]

Right Bob, I think Jim thought I was mentioning the roof brown as a roof 
color.  I meant the sentence to imply that color for the doors and window 
trim on the low floor cars.  I have a 20 x 36 shot of 720 in color blown up 
by Kodak from a slide that shows the roof as a fairly clean grey/black, but 
the doors look like a washed out
red.  As Jim says, the orange looks fairly new.  The trucks have a fair 
amount of rust on them.

I have enough shots of in service cars to figure a coal dust hung over all of 
Fayette county and I think your paint job on 727 may have been the spec for 
the actual cars, it looks that good.  You couldn't have hit it any better.

One other item I forgot to mention that was a question.

When the new terminal went into service did the company pull up the rails on 
Main St. that connected with So. Mt. Vernon Ave. since they crossed two RR 
according to the maps in CERA.
