[PRCo] Yellow cars on 5-Spring Hill

[Bob Rathke]

I posted the following recollection on the trolley list before, but recently someone asked if I had any photos taken before the Spring Hill loop was constructed in 1946, and I added these comments to my reply:
I remember riding the yellow cars on Spring Hill.  My favorite seat was at the rear of the car.  I'd collect old transfers (I still have some of them) from the leather garbage bag, and - pretending I was running the car - I'd push the floor pedal that released sand on the tracks.  More than once when this happened, the motorman stopped the car and came back to tell my parents to make me sit with them.  I can still picture his red, angry face - I'd recognize him immediately if he walked in the room right now.
