[PRCo] Re: More photos

[John Swindler]

Could not find a private operator with a TDH 4509/12 numbered 310, but there was a Pgh Rys bus #310 which went into the PAT fleet.  This is according to the Pittsburgh bus history site referenced elsewhere.

 

Some of the private operators adopted the PAT paint scheme, but not sure if only 'new look' buses bought in early 1960s or also applied to some of the 'old look' buses.  The original scheme had a green belt rail, similar to Harrisburg Railways.  By the time PAT actually took over, had changed to red.  

 

I'd tend to suspect that this is a 1960s photo of ex PRC 310 in PAT livery.  

 

Cheers

John
