OK, so there were at least two 1700's like that.

This scene at the Brookline loop brings back good memories.   My aunt 
lived at the end of the line.   Riding to there from town was a big 
treat for me.   The best parts of the line (aside from the tunnel and 
ride through South Hills Junction) were the ramp from Dawn Junction and 
the ride up Brookline Blvd all the way to the end.  And coming down West 
Liberty and heading up the ramp was a big kick, rising above the motor 
traffic that continued on to route 51 and the Liberty tunnels.    
Listening to the PCCs at night glide down the prw to the loop was 
somehow, comforting:   they were still in service, they could be counted 
on, and being at my aunt's house overnight meant another ride on the PCC 
to back home.
