The West Penn lasted as long as it did because the coal miners did not
want to dirty up their autos with the coal dust that clung to their
clothes after working and rode the trolleys to and fro . The smell on
the cars probably was from the coal dust left on the seats and on the
floor after they got off !  I read that somewhere but don't remember
where. Maybe one of PTMs books.
