[PRCo] Re: PRCo's Low-Floor Color Scheme

[Bob Schmidt]

Greasings,

I recall the Washington cars having the cream/maroon color combination,
and the Charleroi cars the maroon/gray color scheme. Maybe I've got it
backwards, but testing a 60 yr.olde memory isn't getting any easier. The
mind starts retiring with the body. Anyway, that's how I was able to
distunguish these cars as a trolley obsessed kid back in the mid 40's.

As an additional note or two, I believe the 3700 series used a pointed
pilot, and the 3800's a traditional vertical fence gate...(my
politically incorrect description of a rail kill wiper.)
And...Both series had different style truck side frames ...the 3700's
using archbars...the 3800's a variation of the archbar design with
rounded journal boxes. 

Eh, just a nickles worth of thoughts to share on these olde romantic
beasts, and hoping to be somewhere near halfway accurate after all these
years.
