[PRCo] Re: 1711

[Mark McGuire]

1711 wasn't painted in the gray#2 scheme until 1968. Then painted orange/white orange in 1975.

When I was working at SHJct there was still one PCC (may have been 1711) which still had signs for Castle Shannon, Shannon-Charloroi, and Shannon-Washington in addition to the numbered signs. The car was still in PRCo colors and was one of the last 1700s to still carry the PRCo red and cream paint. I really never took note of the car number and never ran it with those signs. In that era they were rebuilding the PCCs as fast as they could. Not many PRCo color cars were still hanging around by 1979.
