[PRCo] FOUND: PRCo___Homewood___Fire

[Jim Holland]

Good Mornings!


	Boris' comment about other PCCs being scorched in the Homewood
fire caused my transmission to go into High Gear  --  *thought* 
I remembered seeing this before and Lo and Behold, here is an
email from  19_Feb_2001  to our dear list with Just Such
Information!!!!!!!

	Now we know, Boris  --  this information will surely

		Pickle Fred Tink!!!

	Still looks like None of the 14s and 15s were involved in this
fire!

	And your thought that the total number of PCCs is 18, Boris, is
also correct.    Your memory ala PRCo is Dangerous  --  but
Excellent!    Great Work!

If my knowledge is good, homewood fire burned 17 or 18 PCCs. 18
is probably correct. 11 cars were scrapped, 7 cars restored, but
I don't know their numbers. 100 wasn't burned. No 1400s and 1500s
were scrapped.

So what series of PCC cars did not play ANY ROLE in the fire?
