Dayton Ohio
Peoples Railway
These long trailers (#601-609) were built by Cinci Car Co. for PRC about1914 or '15, and were used as such until 1922, mostly on the heaviest of PRC lines, #7 (N. Main/Wayne).  About 1923 the trailers were sent back to Cinci Car Co. for conversion into motorized streetcars. This picture taken in the late summer of 1940, shows #25x on the PROW on N. Main St., somewhere north of Redwood Avenue,
on former DC&P interurban trackage (taken over by PRC after DC&P abandonment in 1926.)  PRC route 7 was PRC's last rail line, and was replaced by ETB's in August 1940.
This color pix is from an 8mm movie frame, thus the grain, but the beautiful PRC paint scheme clearly shows what distinctive colors they had.
