[PRCo] Re: American PCC Street Cars

[Fred Schneider]

Thanks Bill.   Number 10409 is the St. Louis-built car.

I went to Antwerp with Dick Lloyd about a dozen years ago ... he was  
driving the rental car and I was standing on the right seat, up  
through the sun roof, taking pictures of the PCC following us down a  
narrow street.   Great experience.

I would be happy to show those slides to anyone in the group but I  
simply will not post them to any internet address lists or web sites  
where they become community property for anyone to copy.    You have  
to track me down in Lancaster or set up a date and place convenient  
to all of us.   I've also got slides of the cars in the Hague, Ghent,  
and Brussels.
