[PRCo] Re: Railfanning at the Junction

[Edward H. Lybarger]

They look beautiful!  Now Bob will tell me that I'm picking nits, but...

1)  The Donora rollsign on the 3800 IB at SHJ wouldn't have been accurate in
1928, even though it was on the roll. Through service from Pittsburgh to
Donora operated only from 11-1-20 to 3-22-25.  Before and after, Donora cars
went only to Black Diamond or Riverview.

2)  That 3600 looks fresh from the paint shop...not something PRCo was
likely to do with a car about to be retired.

3)  There is an awful lot of sunshine out there for Pittsburgh in 1928!!
Likewise, the gentleman waiting on the bench is wearing a shirt that is
white rather than the common "Pittsburgh White" of the day.

Super job, Bob!

Ed

Folks:
I went railfanning today just I time to see the last 3600 interurban trundle
off the South Hills yard for the final time while her replacement 3800 heads
inbound to dawntawn.

I just finished building the 3600 from a Labelle kit and sides I had
laser-cut.
