>Didn't you request this once before?
No, I did not know of PRCo Birneys until about a week ago and jsut
talked with Ron yesterday.
>What about PTM? IF anyone has a photo of a PRCo Birney, it would be PTM.
He is still working on that source, with little luck. He has been
hoping to have some luck elsewhere.
>Didn't know PRCo actually Had Birneys; is it actually something similar to
a Birney like a single truck car??
According to Harold E. Cox, The Birney Car, Page 75; PRCo had 2 Wason
Birney Cars Nos. 8 & 9 that operated on the Thornburg Shuttle, Route 29.
They were acquired from Exeter, Hampton & Amesbury St Rwy Co of New
Hamnpshire, built in 1925, sold to PRCo in 1926 and scrapped in 1932.
