Good Morning!!

	Just received a photo of PRCo PCC Interurban 1711 at Adtranz undergoing
a major cosmetic overhaul for the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum (PTM) on
the actual former prw of the Washington interurban at County Home Siding
near Arden.   I believe that 1711 was the last revenue car to leave
Washington when the line was truncated within Allegheny County at Drake
after 1953.09.29 some 48--years ago!!

	A new floor has been installed and rusted panels replaced and the car
is repainted with the front windows in flat-black ala delivery from
St.-Louis Car Company  --  that little touch makes quite a difference in
the overall appearance of the car.

	This appearance will be noticeable when the car is complete and
photographed from a normal angle!
