[PRCo] Re: PRC 1700 in Oakland

[John Swindler]

Fantrip car, and looks like apartment under construction on site of old Duquesne Gardens (???-a guess)  This track was retained for use by route 79, formerly part of Forbes Shady Penn loop (before my time), but used by schedule dept. for Stadium Forbes Field trippers during early '60s.  Good place to store cars for post-event service to downtown.
