[PRCo] Streetcar pranks

[PC]

I wonder what Union organized this group?  This is now comical isn't it.  In those good 'ol days were were supposed to have
so much more to occupy our time weren't we.  Where did they get the time for such shenanigans?

 A bar of hand soap was the rail grease of choice in some neighborhoods around Halloween time. 
   
 On the least night - and early next morning - of East End trolleys in January, 1967 I rode as many of the last runs as possible, and I remember numerous "jumpers" waiting for us, especially in the East Pittsburgh area. Maybe it was an organized effort.  :-)
