[PRCo] CERA 75th Anniversary Convention

Interesting about the Univ WI colors.   The SF Market St cars have some nuances in colors because they wanted it that way. 
Thanks for the info and photos.

The trolley system manager said the color selection was intentional, in deference to the University of Wisconsin's red/white colors, but there's an authentic PRC logo on the side of the trolley. The Johnstown car's colors are accurate and include the JTC logo on the sides - see attached photo I took of the logo on the "Johnstown" car.

The Kenosha Electric Streetcar system ran all six of it's operating PCC's (five from Toronto and one from Philadelphia).  Two additional PCC's (one from TTC and one from SEPTA) are in the shop being prepared for service.
