[PRCo] Re: 4393 Versus 4366

[Herb Brannon]

No takers, eh ??
I found another photo of Rt 12-Evergreen in the publication titled
Pennsylvania's Street Railways by Benson W. Rohrbeck. There is a color
photo taken at the end of the 12-Evergreen line. The caption in the
Rohrbeck book reads, "Car 4386 at the end of Route 12, Evergreen, July 6,
1952. The photo is credited to Andrew D. Young. HOWEVER, if you look at the
photo the car is NOT 4386, it IS 4366.

Again, what was the last car running regular revenue service on
12-Evergreen???
