[PRCo] Charleroi Car House

[Jim Holland]

I~F   *_These_*  photos remain in the order I sent them, you shall see:::
.
-01->--1723 heading NB into the Charleroi Car House.
.
-02->--Donora local 4369, a 38xx-Interurban facing the opposite 
direction ready for an AM pullout to Roscoe, and F6 work car off to the 
side 1 little over 66 years ago in August-1941.
.
-03->--F6 itself, converted to Freight service almost 91-years ago from 
3551 which was a renumbering by PRCo of W&C car 201.     This car was 
scrapped in January of 1946.     While painted orange here, it is not 
unlikely that something like this in maroon could be spotted at 
Charleroi during WW2.
.
-04->--1723 heading NB leaving Charleroi Car House  --  the Car House 
was used as a siding with the Northbound car passing through the car 
house with passengers on board~!~!~!
.
.
Our Host will probably rearrange these photos so that #04 is in #02 
position~!~!~!
.
.
.
.
Here are some photos of equipment quite similar to F6 before it was 
converted - in the maroon / gold striping.

The Kuhlmann Interurbans were about 52-feet long, much like 38s and 
Brill 37s, but of classic wood construction with RR roof making the cars 
look rather imposing.     Appears like 30" to 36" Wheels~!~!     PRCo 
had 20 of these cars:::
