[PRCo] Re: Cleaning

[Fred Schneider]

Which year?   During the PCC era they used revolving brushes at each  
carbarn.    Hand labor has used for the ends.   Roofs were seldom if  
ever done.   After 1950 the washings became far less often because  
they didn't have the money.

I remember I comment in a personal letter from Norman Vutz to me in  
April 1964.   Norm had been talking to one of the motorman and he  
asked how the man liked working for the new Port Authority.   The  
operator said it was great.   He didn't have to come to work with his  
own Windex and paper towels any longer to clean the windshields.    
Someone in Craft Avenue Car House was doing that for him now.

Did I answer your question?
