I just found some photos of PRC work cars taken by Clarence Gerst who lives on Spring Hill.  The captions are rather complete, but the dates (1950s) are incomplete or suspect:

M282 crane car, identified as being at the Millvale carbarn.  This car looks like a railroad crane, not at all like sister-number M283.  Was M282 based at Millvale?

M701 rail and tie car.  Looks like it's in the lower yard at Tunnel Carhouse.

M212 wire reel car and F8 snowplow side-by-side.  Caption says that F8 was a former Washington interurban car - true?
