[PRCo] Re: 1700-series PCC Interurban TrolleyCars

[Herb Brannon]

Anything or anyone PRCo/PATransit property (private right-of-way, two-feet either side of street trackage, private right-of-way bus roadways, transit-ways, etc.) are responsible for their own damages, under law, if they are struck by a trolley, bus, or non-revenue vehicle while on that property. This includes parked, unoccupied vehicles on the street, but too close to the rails. However, like I said it is easier to stop than to do the paperwork. Look through the archives of The List and you will find a true story I wrote about me hitting a parked auto one night on Warrington Avenue.

He also missed seeing you wear a full uniform and blowing "two longs a shot and a long" on the Library line.

Too bad you had to stop before proceeding through the grade crossings....was that a PAT policy? Or did you no trust the motorists? I know that too many people try to eliminate themselves from the gene pool when they are behind the wheel and get to grade crossings.

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.
