[PRCo] PRC 1600

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Those are shop trucks from low-floor cars.  The 3800s had roller bearings.
One 3800-car truck survived the scrapping of the fleet and was used to
compress PCC trucks for spring replacement.  PTM acquired it from Homewood
in the '70s.

Take a look at the shot of the burnt out remains of 1600 in Bear's current
eBay listing.  What are those trucks?  Obviously not belonging to 1600.  So,
are they shop trucks or are they trucks from a 3800 series car, all of which
supposedly scrapped by end of 1952?
