The front end platform is not unlike the rear end platform.

Have a photo somewhere of the front end but believe it is available 
light at night.

Theoretically, 1613 is 1799 and received an excellent restoration by  
({[pat]})  so she should be in relatively good condition.

Don't have a date for the photo.     PCC Interurban 1613 was shorn of 
all Interurban equipment by  ({[pat]})  including roof light and pilot 
at one point in history  --  have photo of her in snow without light and 
with lifeguard.    The roof light on 1613 in this photo appears to be 
that modern kind added to all equipment.     With this in mind, I date 
the photo in the early 1970s after initiation of the Early Action 
Program which produced The Sunburst Trolley.     ({[pat]})  then set 
aside certain cars for complete overhaul and probably then received the 
newer roof light  --  don't think the pilot was restored and am 
relatively sure it wasn't on conversion to 1799  --  working from memory 
without checking photos.
