	Would appreciate hearing of those memories but remember to blindfold the 
list master first!
	I saw Shaker once and am very much enthralled with the system.  It 
mirrors the PRCo interurban system with two lines using common trackage for 
several miles from downtown Cleveland on prw then splitting into two lines  --  
Van Aken (Drake) but completely double track and Shaker is Library.  Think there 
was a South Park stop on the Shaker-Library-line!
	I believe that Shaker removed the dynamic governor so when the motorman 
released the power pedal, the PCC cars rolled freely like older equipment.  This 
makes the PCC a little more difficult to stop but on prw, that should not be a 
real problem!
