[PRCo] Re: Millvale & roll signs ?

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Each barn had its own list of destinations, though there was some
repetition...all the signs had CAR HOUSE and the urban signs had
STADIUM-FORBES FIELD.  The interurbans had only destinations that were
relevant.

This said, let me be quick to point out that these city destination signs
changed from time to time as routes were re-assigned from closed car houses
and the like.

I see in factory photos , St Louis shipped some cars with rolls installed,
some appeared to have empty light bulb sockets in the window. So, I wonder
how rolls in a town as big as Pgh were managed? Did each barn have its own
specific roll ? Would a Charleroi 1700 have a "21 Fineview" available?
