I don't know about parts, but I do know we supplied Brookville a lot of
information from the PTM Library before they even decided to bid.

I think that's why we save stuff, isn't it?  To be a resource.  And Harold
is right about defining the cars...they will be remanufactured rail cars.
Remember, the PCC patents were in the trucks.

Greetings

Will these sill be PCC cars?   Not by my book.

They are now remanufactured rail cars using former SEPTA PCC bodies.

What do you think.
