[PRCo] Re: SE DE

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

To the List:   In 1928 PRC made its last purchase of equipment before the PCCs, the 15 St.Louis SE Interurbans.  Equipment purchases  'by PRC'  were 72% SE;  inherited equipment made up bulk of DE cars.  It would seem that PRC made up its mind well before 1929 since by 1925 they had purchased predominantly SE cars.

Did all 87-Ardmore trips go to Wilmerding or did some turn in E.Pgh on city street loops?  Yes - given that DE routes existed, 62 one of them along with 99, 12,  (1,4,5 - not sure how/when these got loops,)  29, 38A, Washington & Donora locals, etc.
