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

could see someone seeing this as yellow.
