Rumor has it that with the Arlington/Warrington line returning to service,
PAT will reactivate 3 1600 series cars for regular service on the hill.
(For those of you who've never been to Pittsburgh, this is the line with
9%+ grades.  Also, the 1600 series cars have air brakes as well as electric
brakes.  With an air compressor on board, they have pneumatic sanders.  The
<slightly> newer 1700 series cars are all electric, and depend on mere gravity
to get the sand to the rails.)

By the way, SL0D, how's life in the subway?
