[PRCo] Re: Interurban PCCs ???

[James B. Holland]

Mark provided us with a picture of the wye point and mate from his most 
recent trip This Century  --  don't remember how much more of the wye 
was still visible.

Dispute the Donora wye was usable until 1952  --  charters along 
Charleroi always transferred to local Revenue cars to make the trip to 
Donora  --  knowing railfans, if it had been at all possible to get a 
PCC or other single end car down there to the wye, they would have done 
it.       Have a photo of a PCC 16xx-Interurban which was backed down 
onto the Donora trackage at Black Diamond Jct. for a photo op, but 
again, had the wye truly been usable then the railfans would have 
twisted arms at PRCo To Do Just That.
