1711 at Charleroi Car House circa 1950. The interesting thing about this photo is that the car beside PCC 1711 is West Penn Railways Cincinnati curve side car 832. The Pittsburgh Electric Railway Club had been storing it at PRCo's Charleroi Car House since West Penn had been abandoned the previous year.
This photo was probably taken on the day in May of 1953 when 832 was moved to Ingram Car House because the Charleroi line was being abandoned. Both 832 and 1711 are now at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum
