[PRCo] Re: carhouses & connections

[mrb190]

Tell me.  Wasn't PRCo stuck with Rankin Carhouse, that is, PAT never took
("condemned") that over, correct?

So, if that is true, did PRCo leave the cars in there until Jnauary 1967 when the
East End routes closed, or longer?  Or they have them hauled out?  (Or, are they
still in there to this day?  --- {smartsh%* question.})
