Maps

[Vigrass, Bill]

The maps sound interesting and vaguely familiar.  I recall Johnstown with
its line, was it Horner Street?, that was single track, with passing sidings
on slight rises in the street level so the motorman could see to the next
siding, sort of.  It was an early, perhaps the first, conversion to
trolleybus.  The PCC's rode relatively hard and were somewhat noisy with
their B3 trucks on paved track.  It was remarkable the system remained in
business, as a street railway, as long as it did.  
Let me know whenever the maps become available.

Greetings!

	In my collection I have the following maps:

	1)--Track Map of Trolley Lines of PRCo as of Dec, 1944.  ERA 
		JG-Kneiling.  This does not have route numbers.
	2)--Track Map of Trolley Lines of PRCo as of June 1949.  ERA
		JG Kneiling, R Saxon, WA James, C Dengler
	3)--PRCo Trans Dept Track Map of Downtown & Near Northside Area 
		not to scale, 1956.04.08.  Shows all usable track.
	4)--Johnstown Traction Company Complete Track Map

	All the maps are on 11X17 paper.  Once we get the videos sorted out,
maybe I can put together a package of information that I have - videos,
maps, etc - for a nominal price for anyone who wants it.  But it is
getting close to the holidays and with video conversions and the like it
probably won't be until 2000 that I could get this all together!

	I sent Ed a copy of the last map of JTC and he said it is better
than
anything they had on file at the Museum!
