These car descriptions on the Web site have not yet been edited for
accuracy...I'm in the process of starting that.  So don't believe everything
that's up there just yet!

NOTE  on  http://www.pa-trolley.org/Roster/PRC1711.htm  that the maximum
speed is listed as 47-mph  --  this  *-lends-*  some credence to the
highly contentious discussion Not Long Back led by Boris about shunt
circuits on drawings for  ALL  1700-series PRCo PCCs that would give
modestly higher speeds  --  believe about 30- cars of the 1601-series
had similar shunt potential.
