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

I don't believe we had any problems on the two occasions that 3756 went back
to Pittsburgh.

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"?
