1. Somewhere in the past year I remember reading a statement from
Harold Geissenheimer that he ordered the retirement of the General
Electric 1700s because of better ventilation on the 1600s. The other
answer has to be, when you are down to 100 to 125 cars, why would you
want 20-some GE cars mixed in with nearly a hundred Westinghouse cars.
Its sort of analogous to keeping a 1982 computer.
2. Seal can probably many things. They could not use them. I think
they built seats in front of the center doors.
3. Regarding the date -- we simply know how old Bill Vigrass is and we
can go back to the age at which kids had the money and parent's blessing
to wander on their own. I think 1947-48 was about the beginning of
Bill's wandering. I've never seen any negatives dated any earlier.
