[PRCo] Re: Weird Pittsburgh PCCs

[John Swindler]

The 1600 interurban, as renumbered 1976, had a LRV front due to accident damage.  Flat surfaces were easier for South Hills car shop people to construct.  The pattern evolved from a picture of a Helsinki LRV taken by Harold Geissenheimer.
 
Were there not two of these cars with reconstructed front ends??
 
Cheers
John
