	Part of a group of 24-cars shipped out intact
between December 09 and 22 1986 to Azcon Corp. of Sharpsburg for
scrap.

	Also included:::::::

		1617//1778
		1619//1780
		1621//1789
		1623//1782
		1628//1787
		1636//1783
		1637//1785
		1638//1796
		1640//1798
		1643//1641-II/1786-II
		1646//1781
		1647//1779
		1652//1792
		1656//1791
		1660//1790
		1662//1795
		1671//1793
			1710
			1712
			1715
			1753
			1756
			1760

	Interesting, but 1710 and 1712 were 2-distinctly different cars.   
Interurban 1710 like to hunt alot - lateral motion going down the
tracks (as did Many of the 17-Interurbans) while 1712 was about the
only one (in the latter 1950s, early 1960s) which would ride more
smoothly but might bounce a little!

	Because of that distinction, 1712 became my favorite car.

	But 1712 has recently been displaced by 1714 as a favorite.    Have
excellent photos of Car inbound at Monesson Jct Memorial-Day, 1949
(Brand-New!);  on one of the Charleroi high trestles OB (used in PTM
calendar, Ed Miller shot); and it was beneath Drake trestle when M1,
West-Penn--832, and 3756 went over the trestle to County Home on
Sunday, 07-February-1954.
