[PRCo] Re: PTM Last Saturday

[Fred Schneider]

You failed to read the other message that said two of the three were the white space between the pictures.   

Of course, then, the purists among us,  Dwight, would point out that Washington PA never had high speed K-35 control cars.   Charleroi and Tylerdale barns had low-speed HL control cars (actually a Westinghouse knock off of GE type M) because that was what was on the 3700s and 3750s and thus the barn staff was familiar with it).  

The flip side of that coin is simply that the public doesn't know the difference.   There are those who look at Philly 5326 and argue until the cows come home that they rode that car to school in Homestead and we're wrong saying it came from Philadelphia.   They know better.

That company was oh so clever back in the late 50s and early 60s--shame there was not a revival for this affair.
