I hope it works better than M-1276 did. :-) Or was it M-1267? It seems Boston is
the only operator to successfully use PCCs as work cars. I keep hearing horror
stories about how poorly the TTC ex-Cleveland cars performed as rail grinders. I
believe CTA has some PCC (6000 series) cars converted to work duty.

And speaking of work cars, what was M-134's assigned duties besides sitting next
to the carbarn with its drooping front platform giving it the appeareanceof
shameful puppy dog?  Ken J.
