[PRCo] Re: 1974 Detours

I don't know why the majority of my last post was missing. Still getting used to this new e-mail system.   Anyway, what doesn't make sense about a Drake car on the 38A loop is just that. It is on the actual loop. Instead of heading straight past the loop switch, the car took the turn in the large 38A loop. The PERC map of 1959 does not show a connection to the outbound interurban lines from here. A car could get onto the 37 loop then join the interurban inbound, but not outbound. Maybe PAT made a connection to the outbound trackage in later years(the photo was from 1974, the PERC map 1959). This is where I'm confused. In the photo, the Drake car is clearly on the part of the 38A loop most adjacent to Castle Shannon Blvd.  The slide I have of a 35 car on the 37 loop is another confusing shot. Perhaps a COT car as mentioned in previous posts?                                                                                                Mark Mc
