	Probably None.    Don't have a listing of all cars burned yet
restored  --  just those scrapped as a result.



Here is a listing of PCCs scrapped over the years and reason
	(in addition to above cars:)


1038	Collision, Penn 28th			1959
1213	Collision, SHJ				1961
1242	Collision w/M283, 42/39 Jct		1960
1267	Collision w/1400, Smithfield St. Bridge	1962.11.26
1261	Collision w.1645, Castle Shannon	1963.07.08
1297	Collision with truck, Ohio and Federal
1299	"   "   "   "   "   "   "   "   "   "
1437	Collision
1454	Collision
1529	Collision w/truck, lower Forbes
1608	Collision w.auto, Wilkinsburg
1629	Collision w/1296 Sandusky Robinson	1958.04.23
1645	Collision w/1261, Castle Shannon	1963.07.08
1668	Collision inside Tunnel


	I also remember a 17 passing under a feeder which collapsed on
top of the car and burned a good hole into it  --  but it must
have been repaired as only 1701 and 1725 are listed as being
scrapped.
