Hey Jim, I was just joshing you guys like you were to me. All in fun here!! I finally found the pix in the group of Pittsburgh pix I passed up. Yellow and White Right ??  I always had a hard time reading the numbers on the PCCs as they were over on the right front,so if you were going around a right turn,and the other car was in the turn,you could not read the number,even the side number was hard to see as dirt thrown up by the front truck obscured it or side-swipe accident obliterated that number. The rear number was also covered in grime from the trolley pole drippings.  oh well !! Boston numbers were easier to read as they were black on cream,as some of the older PCCs in Pittsburgh were.  cheers  rogertrolley 

   Actually orange and white Roger. Just like the old low-floor cars I could see someone seeing this as yellow.
