Pittsburgh Rys 101

[Vigrass, Bill]

More villains.  Perhaps automobiles and new roads was the real culprit,
as it has been so many places.  Yet in Pittsburgh, the decline came
later.  Therefore I would credit PRCo and the terrain and perhaps a
strong CBD for retention of streetcars.   And the conversion of a few
lines (that had always been my favorites) to LRT.  It was fun while it
lasted.   Bill V.
