[PRCo] Re: #1727 Accident

[John Swindler]

Early 1980s after serious accident.  I want to say when motor fell off 
Market Frankford car around 30th St., splitting car open on subway column, 
but memory very hazy on this.  I'll check Monday for background.

Inspections done by PAT and SEPTA employees.  PennDOT just checks the 
inspection records and supplies stickers.  Early on I recall Luzerne Depot 
doing a lot of inspections near end of quarterly inspection period.  We 
quizzed the shop foreman over just how many inspections certain employees 
could do in one day.  At least the records looked more reasonable on 
subsequent visits.  Afterall, we were the same folks who also provide SEPTA 
with state operating assistance.
