[PRCo] Re: Trolley bus in Pittsburgh

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Brannon;  I don't know the extent of the operation
but I have seen more clear pictures which reveal this
is part of a wye formation.  It probably did not
operate far.
There was a third coach in Pgh but it was just on display.
This also at Westinghouse when 1600 arrived.  I am not
familiar with coaches but guess it a Twin.  Must have been
Sept or later 1945;  1600 was mounted high and had
all compartments open for inspection, including under
the car.  If I can find a picture I shall post it.


 Phil

Here's a photo of the San Francisco MUNI trolley coach which ran in East
Pittsburgh c.1950 for Westinghouse Family Day. Does anyone know how much
overhead was put up and on what streets it ran?
