made the B&O's trackage rights over the P&LE untenable, their pax trains
did run over the P&W, using the B&O station rather than the P&LE, in
Pittsburgh. I rode one such <EM>Capitol</EM> in early 1959.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>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. <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>----- Original Message -----<BR><BR>From: "Dwight

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><BR><A

<BR><BR>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><BR><A
