[PRCo] "Stumbled Upon" Photos of Pittsburgh and Trolleys ( Section 1)

Sat Aug 10 20:20:59 EDT 2013

John

It needs to be vetted.  I'm sure there are numerous mistakes.  For starters, 
that standard gauge loco is for sure not P&CS.

Another interesting question?  Were 3750 cars used routinely on Rt. 39?  How 
did that one happen to be on it?  Or is the location actually not Brookline 
Blvd?

The article needs help.
