[PRCo] Re: G scale PCC in Pittsburgh Railways colors

[Ken and Tracie]

This reminds me..........the last time I was at OERM, they were using 
LARY/LATL PCC 3100 on the demonstration loop.

I was totally disgusted to find modern gang "tagging" scratched into the 
seatbacks. A member told me some of the human garbage which occupied the 
then recently constructed apartment complex nearby (thanks, greedy, corrupt 
Perris officials) sent their kids to the museum to "ride the trains" rather 
than actually engage in parenting.

As far as these kids were concerned, a transit vehicle was a "rolling 
canvas", whether it was in active service or at a museum.

To get back on topic, I wonder what horror stories the PRM people can share 
about returned cars after they were loaned to PAT? Or what sort of "artistic 
expression" was performed on the former IT PCCs when they were loaned to the 
SHRT in "West Pittsburgh"?
