<html><body><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><DIV aria-label="Compose body">In the late 1980's and 90's there were two Chicago trains: the Capitol Limited via the old PR line along the Ohio River, and the Broadway Limited via the old B&O line (Etna-New Castle-Youngstown). The train names and routes were flipped from the pre-Amtrak routes of the old PRR and B&O flagship train.</DIV>
<DIV aria-label="Compose body"> </DIV>
<DIV aria-label="Compose body">Also, when the Broadway Limited route was started on the B&O, a crossover track was built under or near the Bloomfield Bridge to allow the train to back into the PRR station, then continue eastbound on the PRR to N.Y. or westbound on the B&O to Youngstown. That crossover is no longer needed since the Capitol Limited is the only Chicago train that now stops in Pittsburgh.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Max Solomon told me his father’s company did the actual cutting up of the shed. I remember when it was done. This was interesting because I had no idea how the actual work was done—never thought of that aspect of the project. <BR>

<DIV><BR></DIV>From: Fred Schneider <BR>Sent: Saturday, 17 May, 2014 22:39<BR>To: Western PA Trolley discussion <BR>Subject: [PRCo] Still more reading from the Pittsburgh Press<BR>Some 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>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Another 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. <BR>
