On Thursday the SEPTA board approved the PCC rebuild project.  The job goes
to an upstate Pennsylvania company, Brookville Mining Equipment Corp., who
have also supplied rebuilt switchers to SEPTA's regional rail division.
Here's their site:

The contract includes new trucks, including new motors, actuators, track
brakes, and disk brakes.  The control panel will be arranged like that on
the Kawasaki LRVs.

The 18 (option for up to 23) cars are to be in service in June 2003.
