[PRCo] Re: Active PCC lines?

[Jim Holland]

Just a quick note before I run:::::::
.
Kenosha also has PCCs but that is more like a Museum operation 
currently.   The PCCs in Kenosha are from the last newly built PCCs for 
Toronto.
.
You and Mark should come to SF some time  --  maybe a future PRCo get 
together could be in SF.    We have PCCs from Philly and Newark (ex-Twin 
Cities PCCs) as well as vintage equipment.    It is only one long line 
but with quite varied operation  --  with the addition of a loop near 
CalTrain PCCs could see Much More Service.    Car #1 is the original car 
with which Muni started service in 1912 and it has often held down a 
schedule admirably.   If we can get a group together we could then 
charter a car and go many other places than the F line.
.
Such a trip should also include time for travel to other spots - 
Redwoods in Humboldt, coast, Parks, etc.    M~U~C~H    to do out here.
