[PRCo] Re: 1700-series PCC Interurban TrolleyCars

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

There are short turns too numerous to list aren't there.  How about wyeing at Riverview loop or Canonsburg or Ardmore before the loop?  Then there is the experience of all Prc equipment in Prc colors but those yellow cars and red interurbans were mighty faded weren't they.  Ardmore and McKeesport prw; much prw in West End with very interesting operations with memories of riding on Neville Island; not vivid, but memories.  Bridge after bridge built for Prc but converted for other vehicle usage.  E Ohio street was a wonderful ride especially early evening when traffic was lighter.  There are experiences too numerous to tell aren't there?

Why you poor child....................not to have experienced the 4th Avenue Short Turns, the 1600s still in PRCo paint, the Dormont Wye, weekend trips on the 49-Arlington/Warrington looping downtown via 4th, Ross, Forbes, Grant, Liberty and Ft. Pitt, the Neeld Avenue Loop, riding down the 38A trackage, Castle Shannon's motorman's practice tracks, West Library Loop...............and I thought I missed a lot of the former PRCo system.

The oldest PCC paint jobs I remember from 1987 were just not that old.
I never rode pre-subway.
