[PRCo] 1711

[Ken & Tracie]

I never did ask why the Adtranz crew never restored the sheet metal
skirting below the front anti climber. I know Pittsburgh Railways and PAT
removed the center of the front skirting throughout the service life of
the cars and also trimmed away the center of the truck opening skirting
below the "belt" rail on most, if not all, of the remaining PCCs by the
time they were retired.

I see that 1711's side skirting is fully restored. If PTM was going for a
1949 look, complete with the original style headlight and gold front
numerals, why wasn't the front skirting restored to as built condition?

I'm not being critical, I'm just wondering.......
