Part of a charter on September 9 1956, low-floor car 5432 is outbound on Forbes, possibly at Craig. The destination sign was valid before combined with 77 to make 77/54 dubbed the "Flyin' Fraction" by local and popular radio host and railfan, Mr. Rege Cordic! When the Port Authority overhauled 1601-series PCCs in the 1970s, they were renumbered in the 1775-1799 block of numbers except for one numbered 77/54 in honor of Rege!
