Yes, you are right. I can see something (the shock mounts) on the 1716's
sideframes.

Just Dave's Rail Pix site is my basic source of photos. Think I have seen
all Dave's Pittsburgh pictures and some of them have saved in my computer.

I am a rail car engineer, age 26. Two years ago I started to work as a
foreman in our streetcar shops. Good opportunity for historic streetcar
repairs here. We have almost 300 cars in routine service (mostly of PCC
style) and 16 museum cars, including also two PCCs, one non-powered snow
sweeper and another working equipment.
