[PRCo] Re: PRCo Photos

[Herb Brannon]

I know the locations of these pics by the background scenes. I was looking
more for dates and photographers.
When I first started operating streetcars in 1972 at PATransit the 38A
layout was as it had been in PRCo days. My class did use what is/was called
the 'motormans test track' and the 38A used the old large loop in the Castle
Shannon area. A few years later this was all changed and a decade later the
changes were so great that the face of the area was totally new.

I'm really looking for dates or photographers. Thanks for all the
information, however.
