<DIV><FONT face="Century Gothic">I was at Ingram during the last week and saw
the tow car bringing in one of them. It would be interesting to know what
cars (and in what condition) remained at Ingram after the shutdown--or more
importantly after connection to the West End was severed. I assume PRC removed
the best of what was there prior to that, and that most of it went to Keating
since Ingram was a GE facility AFAIK.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I just had a conversation with Ed … the usual family type
conversation … how are the kids and wife etc. … but I also wanted to find out
something else and that was, where was the end of the elevated in
Dravosburg. I had seen a picture looking onto the Mon River bridge
from the west end showing the elevated structure and a curve in
it. Ed's answer was the el only came off the bridge parallel to
McClure Street, curved around parallel to Maple Avenue and then
ended. <BR><BR>The tracks that Ed mentioned existing today in
Brick paving are in Maple Avenue.<BR><BR>The private right-of-way that trended
northwest to southeast from 3rd and Richland down to Maple near Hill Street
appears to have become the four lane approach to the new Mansfield Bridge in
1948. The new construction simple curved eastward and
wiped out the old Hill Street and whatever was in its path and went onto the
new bridge. <BR><BR>Now if I could just figure out who that sexy
17-year-old morsel was that I photographed in 1959 about to climb on a PCC at
the Horseshoe Curve above Dravosburg. She looked at me and
said, "Should I smile?" And you guys know what a 19-year-old on
leave from the army had on his mind at that moment and it's wasn't
1056. (Picture attached) (Hard to believe she would be 72
now.) This was the same day that the West End lines were
running their last trips and therefore this was the end for the 1000s and
1100s as soon as the equipment shuffle took place.
