A handful of cars had modified brakes for use on Route 21.  I don't have the
information conveniently available, though.

What do you mean by "1601s" ? If you mean all 100 of them, then that would
be the "1600 series". Bear in mind that 21-Fineview operated from Keating
Car House. Keating had PCC cars numbered from xx75 to xx99 (General Electric
cars). The book "Pittsburgh Railways" states that PCC operation on
21-Fineview started in 1951, as does "PCC-From Coast to Coast". Several
photos of PCCs in both books show only 1680s and 1690s on Fineview. I have
one photo of car 1111 on Fineview, however, it is on a fan trip. Other books
I have with photos of Fineview show the 1680s and 1690s in regular service
on that route. Noteworthy is that "Pittsburgh Railways" also indicates
21Fineview did not start running into downtown Pgh until June 9,1952.
