guess the typical railfan scans the trolley stories. You and I read
the newspaper and you find out that nothing really changes over
time. Only the names have been changed.<BR><BR>I am not condemning
Matt for punching in the words trolley or street car to see what they bring
up. Computers have become fantastic search tools. <BR><BR>But I still find
it fantastic to simply sit here and start the year with January 1 and read right
through to December 31st. And that includes everything from what the
Democrats were doing to what Al Capp wrote into Li'l Abner.
<BR><BR>Of course I am finding the fight against Pittsburgh Railways goes back
forever. They were evil because they didn't want to run the service
on all routes every 30 seconds, without causing any congestion for automobiles,
and without charging the riders a fare. And since they were evil, the
politicians always wanted to beat Fitzgerald and company (and successors) over
the head. Trouble is today we is them. <BR><BR>It's a
lot of fun reading things like all of 1947
because I was in first grade then
couldn't read the papers
didn't really know what was going on. Now
I am finding out what was happening around me.<BR><BR><BR>On Apr 25, 2014, at
