List members expressed considerable interest in the 1950's photos of PRC work cars that I scanned last week, and so I have scanned four additional photos taken by Clarence Gerst in that era.

These are views of cars that lasted into the 1960's, and some of them still exist today, but these photos show them in service (not dead storage) at Tunnel Car House, and before the time that PAT may have made modifications to them:

M283 crane car - 1957

M552 dump car - 1957

M517 weed sprayer - 1959

M453 towcar - 1959


The original photos are small, but they scanned okay.  Composition is good, and the views include adjacent equipment and land.

Let me know if you'd like to see them, and I'll attach them to an e-mail.
