Mr.Rathke,  
That appears more like part of the building.  Other
photos along side 1600 do not reveal a trolley coach.

Thank you for the listing of bus acquisitions.


 Phil

Thanks, Phil.  The poles of a second trolley bus are visible just to the left of 
PRC 1600 

 - probably Muni

Here is a photo of the 3rd coach on display in 
E-Pgh., apparently CTA 292.

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.
