1613, however, lost her B-3 trucks, pilot and original spotlight. 1614 also lost her
B-3 trucks. 1644 was never fully "interurbanized" and retained her spare pole hold
down clamp until being renovated by PAT during the 1970s! (I have photos to prove
that!)

Were the 1600s equipped with air horns during their interurban days, or did they
have those same funky sounding electric horns the 1700s had?   Ken J.

P.S.- Does anyone have a list of which indicates 1725-1774 cars were painted in PAT
Gray during May of 1972?
