[PRCo] Last day of Keating CB - photo essay

[Bob Rathke]

Attached are six of the dozens of photos that I took at Keating Car Barn =
on its last day of operation - September, 4, 1965.  A short photo essay:

- PCC 1695, signed for route 6/14, was one of the last two cars in the =
yard that afternoon - the other PCC was 1797 ("Chartered"), and both =
cars were ready for transfer to Tunnel CB.  Curiously, on 9/4/65, 6/13 =
was the Brighton Road route to Emsworth, and it was unusual to see a =
route 6/14 sign.  However, in early 1966, 6/14 become a regular route =
when bridge restrictions caused a cutback of the Emsworth line to =
Avalon.

- Two interior views of 1695.

- A former PRC orange panel truck, backed up to the door for loading of =
paper records from the Keating administration building.  Don't bother =
looking for the records in a vault in the Keating building - it was =
demolished in 1966.

- A lone passenger waits for one of the last 8-Perrysville trolleys that =
looped around the Keating administration building.

- And then there were no trolleys in the barn nor in the yard....
