Greetings!

PERC   PRCo   Fan--Trip   Update

	"IT   WAS   ONLY   a few weeks ago (in car 1616) that we ran down
Braddock Ave. from Homewood Car House to Hamilton.   This was the
stretch of familiar single track that PRwy used to pose their cars for
official company photographs (some of the old homes along the street can
still be recognized from old photos).   Today the track is covered with
a new 'black-top' repaving, and no evidence remains of the Y at the
north end.   Overhead is still in, but probably not for long.   Things
happen fast in these times.'

P.E.R.C.   *Trolley   Fare*   Vol IV #4,   August 1957.
