[PRCo] Re: PERC 4398 Post Card

[Bob Rathke]

I have 7 post cards that were sold at the Museum when it opened to the
public in 1964:

Two of the card photos of Museum cars were taken off the Museum Property
pre-1960, and refer to the pictured cars now being at the "Arden Short Line
Electric Railway Museum".  These cards are of  4398 at the PRC barn, and
West Penn 832 running on single-track PRW (not at the Museum). Photogrtapher
names are not identified.

Five of the cards were taken by John M. Miller and show cars at the Museum
around 1964.  No reference to "Short Line", but each of the five captions
refers to the pictured trolley being from, "Trolleys of Yesterday."
