[PRCo] PRC work cars

[Bob Rathke]

Roger,

I'll send scans to you - and anyone else who wants them.  The M282 is an
unusual looking piece of trolley equipment.  It looks like a railroad Big
(er, Little) Hook.

I assume that M282, M701, M212 and F8 didn't make it far into the 1960s, or
at least not long after PAT took over - correct?
