We talked about this just recently - I asked the same. Trouble is,
outside your account, NONE of the railfans have indicated that this has
happened. PERC had a numnber of charters after PCCs started operating
the Interurbans and there was a joint charter using 1614 and 1646 with Akron
RR club and that is why I asked. Have a picture of one of the PCCs
backed down the Donora line at Black Diamond but we So Far do not have any
info that this has actually happened.
.
I asked about a PCC using the wye - work equipment used it - some speculated
that the wye may be used but restricted to some equipment - like PCCs.
.
To be perfectly honest I think we would have all kinds of pictures of this
happening if it happened! Could you be remembering a PCC wyeing at
Riverview loop instead?
