B--I--G      discussion about this  *-Here-*  and Dave Hamley had 
article in Trolley Fare roundly trouncing PTM for not getting M0011  
(PCC  100.)       M0011 was on property well into the 1960s!!!!!!!       
Railfans of the 1940s--1950s  thought PCCs were buses and didn't want 
anything to do with them!       I Personally Distinctly Remember That!

Since PERC moved its first 3-cars to the museum site on 19540207,  I 
have often wondered why a Brill 3700 wasn't picked up  --  scrap price!
