[PRCo] 1613 -- 1614

[Jim Holland]

HI!

	Interesting the transition--ing for these two interurban cars.  Car
1613 first received a pilot and added weight to B-2 trucks, possibly a
retriever of the Ohio Brass style.  Then came the experimental B-3
trucks from 1230 or 1278.  Then came roof lights.  Then came Earll
retrievers.

	Then these cars were stripped of their experimental B-3 trucks and
returned to B-2s.  Car 1613 then lost her Earll retriever for a city
catcher back above the windows.

	Pictures on pgs.132--133 of  *PCC The Car That Fought Back*  show the
experimental B-3 trucks as applied to 1230 and 1278 with wheel tread
brakes.  The very bottom photo of pg.132 and very top left photo of
pg.133 show the experimental B-3s as adapted for interurban use  -- 
sans wheel tread brakes.  And the photo on the bottom of pg.133 shows
the OB-type retriever centered below the rear windows on 1614, County
Line Siding, Washington line.

	Just thinking of PRCo days  --  not beyond.
