[PRCo] Re: locale- 1764

[John Swindler]

How about an inbound 64 car on Coal Street at Jane Street in Wilkinsburg.  
There was a headway recorder at this location for 64 and 66 cars, and curved 
track that goes off to right would be used by inbound 76 cars leaving the 
Jane St. terminal.  HOWEVER, would like to see a photo from reverse 
direction because of driveway cutout at curb in foreground.

As for 71/73 possibility, was there a piece of track entering Bunkerhill 
carhouse site still in place during PAT era?????  There was around 1960, but 
was it removed when apartment building built on the old Bunkerhill CH site?

Got any more, Ken, that we can 'play with'?
