Mark,

WHICH mishap at Brookside?  I photographed many of them from 1972-83 when I 
daily rode 36-Drake. Some were simple breakdowns and I got off the trolley 
and walked home, or called home for a ride.  I don't remember many times 
when PAT provided a shuttle bus for the people stranded by the breakdown.

Are you referring to the photos I took from inside a 1700 headed inbound at 
Brookside?
