[PRCo] Re: Fwd: Re: [PCCstreetcar] Re: Johnstown body parts used by PRCo???

[Fred Schneider]

I had a St. Louis plate from a Johnstown PCC but it disappeared.  Maybe
under the attic floor in the house next door.   If I had it, it would
just be one more piece of debris in this house and that I do not need.
I have a Pullman plate from a Boston car that I use to hold down prints
on the copy board in the darkroom.....
Anyone want to buy a NYCTA controller?  I think it is about to go out
with the trash.

A word to the wise ... don't let collections get out of control.  It can
cost money to dispose of them.
