Thank You, Bill!!


The PA Trolleys In Color Vol-3 by Volkmer, pg.49, shows a Horner 
destination on 413 heading to Roxbury at Southmont Jct, last day of 
service.       But 413 is facing a left turn point and Southmont would 
be a right turn  --  the other PCC is identified as 498!!!!!!!   ---   
probably 408.

Same pg. shows 407 with Southmont displayed and the car is backing onto 
the line.       Pg.58 shows 405 signed for Benscreek on Ferndale line 
outbound of Stony creek trestle.       Pg.59 shows a carbarn shot on 
1959.07.17 with 417 displaying Southmont, 403 displaying Horner St., and 
404 displaying Benscreek.
