[PRCo] LRVs out of service this morning; Remaining PCCs return to the rails

[Derrick J Brashear]

It's my understanding that due to serious flaws uncovered in one of the 
major subsystems of the LRVs that the Port Authority will be operating a 
reduced schedule today, and that said schedule will be operated entirely 
with the few remaining PCCs which have not yet been removed from the 
property. Details are still sketchy and it remains to be seen what will 
happen Monday morning, as the PCCs on hand don't even come close to 
providing the necessary capacity for weekday schedules; I assume they'll be 
making emergency repairs to the LRVs to get them back in service as soon as 
possible. So, if you can, you need to get to Pittsburgh NOW NOW NOW and get 
your pictures of the PCCs since this may finally be the last time they run 
in revenue service in the city. I'll try to get some pictures and share 
them for those of you who can't get here in time. I guess I should get to 
sleep now, since it's like 4am, and I was hoping to be up and taking 
pictures for the first run of the morning, whenever that is.
