[PRCo] Re: Anticlimbers

[James B. Holland]

The photo of 1600 on pg.100  PCCCar That Fought Back hints at the same 
anticlimber as their is a split in the extra band on top to allow 
dropping the pin for the tow bar.       Or it could just be a recess in 
the upper channel to accommodate the pins as the same is necessary in 
the lower portion to accept the tow bar.

But on PCC 2113 it Definitely appears that there is an extra band in two 
pieces  --  again to accommodate the tow bar.


Now let me beat you to the next question  -- 

How  Many  Ribbits  on  a  PRCo  1700-series  Interurban??????? :-) :-P
