[PRCo] Re: Vehicle assignment

[Herb Brannon]

Who can tell you all or some of that?? Someone who worked there. Unfortunately, as far as the Pittsburgh Railways Company is concerned, most of those individuals are certainly not working at PATransit any longer and the majority of them have gone to the "Carbarn In The Sky." As far as PATransit is concerned there are many remaining, myself included. From the takeover of PRCo by PAT up until the mid or late 1980s the day to day operations were just a reflection of the Pittsburgh Railways Company. Many of the supervisors, training instructors, dispatchers, station superintendents, office personnel, operators and mechanics had worked for PRCo. Even printed material, instruction manuals, etc were the same as the PRCo documents, only the official document names were changed to indicate PAT as the managing authority. By 1990 it was pretty much a PAT-only operation.

Who can tell us how all this worked 50 years back in time???
