Yes -- brought out additional interesting information. Glad
that a reference was made to the Low-Floor cars and their seating
almost identical to the PCC cars -- Single-Enders, that is.
This Emphasizes the Tremendous Consistency within PRCo in all

nevertheless, a Very High Level of Consistency.
Some of the double-end low-floors were all bench seats.
