[PRCo] Re: Weird Pittsburgh PCCs

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Swindler,
Car 1976 is ex-1784 and ex-1603;  this is not an interurban
is it.  I believe 1779 and 1781 are the other two flat dash
TrolleyCars;  1776-1781 are interurbans.

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
