[PRCo] PRC 1924 Reorganization -- Equipment

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

328 new passenger cars ordered, 200 already delivered and in service.  Many trail cars were equipped with 2 motors which materially increased speed of trains on the many hills.

"In order better to attract attention to the new cars they are painted traction orange instead of red, the color previously used.  Other cars of modern center door low-floor type have been repainted to match.  Older type cars, however, are still painted red and it is planned to retire them from service as soon as possible."

"Recently 103 more cars of the same general low-floor design were ordered.  Of this number 20 will be used on the interurban lines and the remaining 83 will be one-man, two-man multiple-unit city cars."  This seems like cars 5200-5282 and 3750-3769 doesn't it.
