Thanks very much Peter Ehrlich for getting us straight on the whys and
wherefors of the PCC fleet colors . Being so close to San Diego and
familiar with the San Diego Electric Ry. PCC s why dosn't Muni paint
one of the Pittsburgh PCCs in the San Diego colors ?? [cast my vote
for this ] I even have an O scale model PCC painted in San Diego Elec.
Ry colors complete with the adds they carried for Balboa Park and
the other one that read [ TOPS IN TRANSPORTATION COMFORT ] which they
were for years after . The second vote for me would be for a DC TRANSIT
scheme with orange and two tone green which was the prettiest colors I
have seen on any transit vehicle . The worst color scheme today is that
Breda car grey they want everyone to swallow ! What a dismal color that
is even in Boston where the MBTA is painting the KINKI-SHARU cars to
match . BLAH AND DOUBLE BLAH
