	ALL  OF  THE  ABOVE  are  suggestions  only  AND
	ALL  OF  THE  ABOVE  open  to  reorganization.

	These lists are based more on possible interest than geography.  Items 
listed in parenthesis are *possible drop-outs* from the previous list.

	Looking at the maps on pages 46 and 49 of Rohrbeck's *Pennsylvania's Street 
Railways* shows many abandonments between 1924 and 1936.  Most of us probably would 
not be intensely interested in anything before 1924 as far as small town systems 
which barely made it beyond the single-truck-car phase and were abandoned by the 
Depression.  This would rule out many single or dual town systems.

	Admittedly, part of the above is logical and part personal preference.  
This would also cover the interests of PTM in sections.

	Please feel free to make additions, deletions, rearrangements and our 
fearless leader, Dr. Derrick, can recommend the final organization and changes, if 
any!
