Greetings!

JTC   --   Benscreek   &   Update

	"JOHNSTOWN   TRACTION   has been using the Benscreek line since PERC
re-opened it for them in July.....With many JTC cars already cut up, and
others awaiting the same unfortunate fate, the following are at Moxham,
and probably will remain (we hope):   211, 214, 223, 224, 230, 311,
350--358, 401--417 & 4-wheeled work car.   Of these, 311, 356, 357 have
fenders.   There has been another reported delay in delivery of steel
for the Franklin St. overpass, so the double-enders will see daily
service for a while longer.   Reports state that JTC Supervisor George
Knipple has fully recovered from the Benscreek episode, and is rarin' to
go again."
