[PRCo] One Question & One Item For The List

[Herb Brannon]

Question:::::
Take a look at the photo of Clearview Loop showing cars 4902 and 1206. This
photo is from "Transit In The Triangle" Page 142, and was taken on August
2, 1946. Look at the outbound track heading down toward the 38A
right-of-way then look above that track at the overhead wire(s). Does
anyone know why there is "dual-overhead" running down that track?
Item:::::
Just a photo or two of my HO trolley layout which is under construction and
has a long, long, long way to go yet before it will be complete. It is
strictly my own design and will showcase what could have been if a more
progressive attitude toward public transit had prevailed in the PCC era.
You will note a PRCo/PATransit 1700-series PCC crossing the street in front
of a GMC TDH4110. The fleet colors (orange/cream/red trim) I selected
inasmuch as they were the colors of the old Akron Transportation Company
streetcars, trolley coaches and buses back in "the day". I have a lot of
work to do on this layout and have actually stopped work on it pending my
moving back to the Pittsburgh area. Hopefully I can get it done before I
die.

I am interested in why there was dual overhead on that stretch of track at
Clearview Loop.
