It seems it would be Much Easier to Guess the Downtown TrolleyCar 
routing of PRCo in 1910, especially given this map of rush hour activity 
in 1910.     While some references state that 1902 was the date upon 
which the local railways were organized under the name PRCo,  others 
indicate a later date.     At any rate, PRCo would have a very wide 
range of equipment.     Only some of The High Floors were in operation 
and possibly a few Low-Floor Trailers; the Kuhlmann 3600-series 
interurbans were pressed into service in 1910 as well.     The results 
of this Arnold study would shape the PRCo into a much more fluid system 
as would the delivery of well over 1,000 low floor power cars.     
Notice that there is only spotty service on Grant  --  it is yet to 
become a major TrolleyCar Thoroughfare.
