[PRCo] Re: Homewood

[Fred Schneider]

I was thinking the same thing ... roof looked OK ... but I backed off when I
could not even find a car in it that screamed "Pittsburgh Railways."  There was
a third shop at South Hills Junction (the buildings below the car house).   I
don't have exact dates but I think Manchester and South Hills Shops were closed
in the 1930s when the company found it was cost effective to shop cars on a
mileage basis.

I could see two different size wheels but the camera position made it impossible
to tell if gears were or were not pressed on the axles.  For all I could see,
they could be different size wheels for maximum traction trucks, which PRC
didn't favor.   That is why I made the snide remark about it looking like a
picture of wheels ... I was unable to prove anything.
