[PRCo] Re: Chiodo's tavern streetcar facade

Thanks for the info on Chiodo.

I'm glad I lived in Pittsburgh during the 1970s and 80s when a Super Bowl win was expected and delivered several times. Also working the PATransit trolleys was excellent during those days. Still operated like, and looked a lot like PRCo!!

There was a series of articles about the dispensation of Pittsburgh PCC cars in the PTM newsletter and describes which car this came off of and why.  I don't recall which and why and am too lazy to find the article, but its in there and known to a few PRCo fans.  I think the rest of the streetcar ended up with that bizarre LRV front end.  There is also a "face: hanging on the car barn at PTM.

However I don' tthink its asking too much after 16 years to expect the Steelers to become THE first rate team at least once.  For God's Sake, even the Ravens (nie Browns) got a super bowl with no offence one year!
