HI!
I really like the photo on pg.160 of *PCC From Coast to Coast* as it
makes one feel as though he is the photographer -- standing right in
the scene!
Note the typical, but not exclusive, PRCo standard for laying the
bricks (can I say *bricks* for short instead of *Belgian--Block*??)
-- 3-bricks deep and parallel to the outside rail on either side of the
two tracks, with bricks perpendicular to the rails between the rails and
also between the 2-tracks.
Note the corrugated and seemingly tapered linepole with a single
bracket for a feeder wire. All other utilities must have been below
ground!
Interesting to note the businesses::
Frank and Seder - had totally forgotten this one.
Household Finance
Donahoes
HFC Finance
The Warner Theater
McCrory's 5 & 10
What was *Peoples First*?? -- Jewelry??
