[PRCo] Re: PCCs in Operation

[Ken & Tracie]

Boston is running PCCs on the Mattapan-Ashmont line and San Francisco has 
PCCs running their F line. Kenosha, Wisconsin has a fleet of five running on 
their line, too.

Fred the Third mentioned some wiring or mechanical changes to the Boston 
cars which technically alters them from true PCC status and I've read that 
the Philadelphia cars are essentially new non-PCC cars using refurbished PCC 
bodies.

The Kenosha cars are ex-Toronto PCC cars using ex-CTA standard gauge trucks.

Corrections and additions to what I typed above are requested.
