of you beside me might remember when trains used the Pennsy (Union) Station at
Grant and Liberty Streets in Pittsburgh. This story tells us that tearing
down the train shed and erecting the individual platform sheds will not delay
any of the station's 250 daily trains. Wow. So many commuter
trains. And in 17 years they were all gone … all that remained were
the long distance trains. And in 24 years it was down to a mobile home
and one Chicago train, one always late St. Louis train, and one additional
cross Pennsylvania train. But the future was bright in 1947 … here
is the story about tearing down the trainshed.<BR><BR>

of some page … anudder man tries to prove he is stronger than a moving trolley;
loses that war. Like the Homestead incident a few days earlier, it was an
old man. Maybe hard of hearing or visually
challenged????<BR><BR>

crash, same day … one streetcar rear ends another. Sounds like a
clear case of pilot error. Slides into the rear of another car while
piloting his car up hill???? As one friend of mine would have said,
brakes failed to work in the space allocated for them to function.

rebuild after the war. Then it for two more
days.<BR><BR>
