I dunno about what train service there was.  We had planned to take a
Llincoln Transit bus from Trafford to Irwin, but we missed it (it did not
run very often) so took a cab.  With three of us, it wasn't much per person,
except that at that point in our lives, we didn't earn much, so anything
more than a few dollars was a burden.  West Penn cars still went to Larimer
on some trips, but for the trip we connected with, we got a car that ended
its trip in Irwin.  It was a 280-290 type car, as I recall. What RR service
might there have been, PRR?  Bill.
