[PRCo] Birmingham

[Fredbruhn at aol.com]

Fred had the disposition of Wheeling Public Service cars right, as he always 
is.  Birmingham also got some of Stark Electric's cars that were curved sides 
and cut in a center door on those also.  Stark didn't make it to the war.  
Their main car barn as well as Wheeling Public Service are both still 
standing.  Panhandle never one manned the 700 type car.  They also had arch 
bar type trucks and during Wheeling Traction
days (West Penn ownership) were set up as multiple unit.  Bill Gwinn brought 
at least one of the Panhandle signs on a West Penn trip and maybe Pittsburgh 
too.
