[PRCo] PRCo 55A Rankin Side

[Dwight Long]

Chartered.  On PRC at least.  But fans usually came up with either PRC route 
signs, often for wrong route, or wacko ones either from other companies or 
home-made.  Some folks who will remain unnamed but are still active at Arden 
formed the Acme Aluminum Siding and Roll Sign Company to manufacture them. 
One of the favorites had a route number that was a square root and a reading 
of Evans City Express.  Didn't matter.  Normals still tried to board the 
car.
