[PRCo] Re: Auctioned PCCs

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

Well let's see;  I don't think they have a Johnstown Car (the Pepsi cap
would be a nice touch).  What about Brooklyn?  I don't remember one in that
livery.  They'll paint them anything but PRCo colors...

Glad to hear that the PCC's are headed west.  Any idea of what paint
scheme they'll be put in?

For what it's worth, I rode the J line in San Francisco a little bit
back in the '70's.  At the 30th & Church wye, I never saw them change
poles and rarely did they use the back-up controls.  The motorman would
just stay in his seat and backpole thru the switches.  Always amazed me
that they didn't back into anything or anybody.
