[PRCo] 1613___B2___Trucks

[Holland Electric Rwy. Op. H.E.R.O. -- Import SPTC 1.48 Models // James B. Holland]

AhhhhhhhhhhHaaaaaaaaaaa!

Suspect that 1613 original B2 was placed back under the car when the 
experimental B3s were removed in the early 1950s.       Car rode quite 
hard  --  motormen disliked it  --  bolster swing snubber may have 
contributed to this.       After cutback in 1953, 16s Only used in rush 
hour tripper service, never all day service.
