[PRCo] Re: PRC 1924 Reorganization -- Equipment

[Fred Schneider]

Where do you see the magic words single-end?   The 200 mentioned in  
the first sentence are probably 4200-4399 and are double-end.   The  
328 are perhaps 4700-4939 with a typo induced by someone who cannot  
count.  Someone has missed 5000-5099 and 5100-5159.   Or we could get  
the odd number of 28 cars by adding together the 14 original 3700  
series interurbans to the 12 second-hand Beaver Valley Traction cars  
plus a double of converter trailers?????    But there were four  
converted trailers and they, by the way were also double-end.

You are trying desperately to find evidence to match the conclusion  
you have already reached, are you not?
