[PRCo] Re: Three Reliable Transit Vehicle Designs

[Ken & Tracie]

I believe the cars rejected by PAT weren't scrapped until the settlement 
with Pittsburgh Railways was finalized in what, 1967?

I do know PAT scrapped the 1600s as they were damaged or suffered severe 
mechanical failures between 1964 and 1972, but I thought a group of 
Westinghouse 1600s were retired in 1969 or so and were scrapped along with 
the General Electric 1700s.
