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

[ROGER Jenkins]

Fred Bruhn : I bought one of my West Penn videos from  PRMA and a
donation to their West Penn  center-door car #739 . I visited their
museum and found out they have 2 WP 700s  ,  #722  is the  other one.
#739 which sits on a pair of  Brill 27-E trucks  is the car they intend
to restore to operating condition.  The electric track brakes were not
found so air brakes will be installed instead.  Curveside car #832 is
undergoing re-building in the shop.  Acouple of  PRCo  cars including
#4398  & #3756  were also observed in the shops.  I rode on one of the
Phila. Suburban  center-entrance cars over the line . Agreat trip and
saw where a major extension to the north was going in.  A  lot has
changed for the better since my last visit in  1960 !!
