Thanks Matt.  Interesting photos. Interesting site.  Particularly enjoyed 
the PCC views.

However was amused by last line in caption for view of M454 as painted up as 
the Cordic Car.

"Stealing a page from P.T. Barnum, this early trolley has been jazzed up to 
advertise Rege Cordic's radio program on KDKA. The old high-floor car was 
later relegated to work service after 1930."

It was the reverse.  Work car M454 was jazzed up to advertise Rege Cordic 
moving to KDKA in the mid 1950s.  It was used on several fantrips and I 
would presume (always dangerous) that it saw some scheduled service before 
returning to its work car orange paint livery.
