Greetings!
Just received a copy of *Streetcars Scenes of the 1950's,* by LeRoy O.
King, Jr., all color, Morningsun Books.
The photos used are those of Ed Miller and anyone familiar with PTM and
the PTM calendars should definitely recognize the name that is linked
with quality trolleycar photos.
Seven Pennsylvania properties are represented not the least of which
are Johnstown, West Penn, and Pittsburgh. 90%+ of the photos have not
been previously published and the photos are from locations that are not
usually frequented by railfan photographers, so they are definitely a
fresh addition to the collection.
For Bob Rathke: The PRCo section is dominated by photos of 4-TROY
HILL, 1-SPRING GARDEN, and 5-SPRING HILL (the latter photo caption lists
the location as "on Pennsylvania Avenue at 9th Street." <VBG>
This is available from Kevin Farrell (http://www.trainbooks.com/) for
$43.00 NEW; the book retails for $54.95!
I think that any Western PA trolleycar fan will like this book!
