[PRCo] Re: comparison with Cleveland

[Harold G.]

Greetings

The fact remain.    few American systems looked worse
than PRC and early PAT.   Even Detroit was excellent in the
late 40'd asnd early 50's.   

Now to get Fred mad...Lancaster always looked worse
than Reading or Allentown.  York buses were always better.

Buffalo streetcars looked were in poor shape

Ken...do you have photos of the excellent maintenance
in Milwaukee.  Its important to note that Cleveland looked
good on ALL .  yes ALL, vehicles.   And with much
OUTSIDE storage.
