[PRCo] Re: Newsletter - 87 Ardmore & Other East End Routes

[John Swindler]

Thanks for posting the newsletter, Matt.  Many of the M454 photos look strangly familiar.  I must have been standing in the same photo line.
 
Couple points.
 
Page 5 picture of car 1734 claims it is passing Homewood car house.  Not likely.  It's a car house, but this one is the old Wilmerding Car House.  Ed mentioned a couple months ago that it might still exist.
 
Page 6 picture of 5432 is not a high floor car, is not in regular service, and on this particular fantrip is sporting a 63 Trafford Express sign from a discontinued route that came out Forbes.  It is at Trafford loop on the 62 line.
 
Page 8 of car 4145 is not at Arden.  I took a picture of 4145 loaded on a flatbed at Magee in fall 1973 as it was being prepared for shipment to Trolleyville outside of Cleveland.    
 
Cheers
John
