[PRCo] Re: Low-floor train

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

I am not reading any more into this than has already been done,
Mr.Schneider.  I read the list archives about the staged photo of
the 2-car train displaying 82-Lincoln.  The location was not Lincoln;
years back when that photo was discussed you yourself also
stated that the 82-did not have 2-car trains didn't you.

Where is the Car Stop sign?  What some view as 'ordinary'
passengers can be chaperones can't they.  It appears to be
a very large group.  It appears the cars have stopped directly
in front of the Kaufmann settlement doesn't it.


Any observation offered so far can also support a charter can't it.
The fact that there is a 2-car train on a line that did not have
2-car trains also suggests a charter doesn't it.

No one here can 'prove' it one way or the other but logic supports
a charter more than it does a service car doesn't it.  This is not
unlike school car specials.  The train picks up the group, takes
them to the destination, then possibly runs service back to the
barn.

Mr.Gula offered how the lists beats every single topic.  The recent
4398 photo on Second Ave. is a prime example of reading into
the photo isn't it.  That is just one of many; this appears to be
another.
