Enough of this speculation.  Someone with a copy of "PCC Cars of Boston"
jump in and lay it out.  Oh, that'd be me.

Page 31 says " in the spring of 1960 (NINETEEN and SIXTY)".  I may have said
1959 when I wasn't bothering to go and look first.  Direct quote.  It was
the 3002-3021 less 3010 that were done in 1959 ahead of Riverside
operations.
