[PRCo] Re: ERA Headlights - Pa. issues

[Fred Schneider]

The Baltimore Streetcar Museum also sells used books when they get them.  PCC - The Car that Fought Back (by Carlson and some chap named Schneider) is in inventory now.  When I first saw it, Ray Cannon had it priced at $30.  I suggested that he was way too low ... that
they go on e-Bay for $100.  Last week I noticed it repriced at $80.  Of course that doesn't preclude one from negotiating.  If someone should want it, I would call 410 837-1164 on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

The Electric Railroaders Association also sells back issues but I have no idea what is in stock.
