[PRCo] Didn't Stop Soon Enough

[Schneider Fred]

This came today from my old Washington friend Dick Kotulak, who  
claims he knows nothing other than the picture came to him on a  
Christmas card 40-some years ago.
Looks like one of those instances where the brakes didn't work in the  
space allocated.   Since it was an imperfect hit and it got the left  
front, the likelihood that the motorman was a fault seems diminished.

Where is it?   Judging from the track layout and the angle of and  
presence of the Gulf Building, I would suggest the car is stopped on  
Sandusky Street facing north at Lacock.

If it is where I think it is, the car behind it would have to be on  
route 4 Troy Hill (abandoned July 6, 1957), 10 West View, 11 East  
Street, 18 Woods Run ) abandoned Nov. 11, 1961) or 19 Western Avenue  
(same abandonment date as route 18).    The car had no Port Authority  
decal on the left side so it is probably pre 1964.
