[PRCo] South Fork - Portage Railway

[Edward Skuchas]

I tried to get in touch with the author.  I believe he lives in York PA and I am usually there twice a year.  I could not find a phone number.

A few years ago, a friend gave me line drawings of Johnstown area trolley cars which included the SC cars.  I was trying to find additional information for model building purposes.

Happy Thanksgiving to the group.
