[PRCo] Re: [Fwd: Pittsburgh Rwy Cars]

[John F Bromley]

Sorry, Charlie,

there is no "rest".  Volumes 1-6 were all Cummings and Harold Cox put out.
There are other items, again Cummings-Cox "Surface Cars of Boston 1903-1963"
butr that was a precursor to the 6-volume set and doesn't further the
knowledge.  BSRA have done several publications, including the PCCs (needs
major updating) and TB's, but the Cummings-Cox series is the main roster for
Boston pre-PCC.
