[PRCo] Re: For Boris

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Ed was not paying much attention to streetcars in the mid-60s.  But PTM has
a great 8mm film of car halves being trucked out of Rankin destined for the
scrap yard after the PRC-PAT dispute was finally sett;ed.

It wasn't their track outside the building.    Pittsburgh Railways or
PITWAY owned the building and the cars inside.  Their property ended
at the sidewalk.   Therefore I would imagine they were trucked
out.    Ed might know, he was about 20 then.
