PRCo Book - Is It Going To Be Published?

[HRBran99 at aol.com]

The following post was sent out over the "Trolley at Railspot" discussion list:

<<Please name one book, comparable to the above two on Chicago, about
Pittsburgh Railways Company (PRCo) - both a City Transit and Interurban
system!  I have honestly heard rumors for over three decades that a
PRCo book is *imminent.*  I have written to people who should have this
knowledge and while they will tell me that one is imminent, they refuse
to identify any authors.
    I recently got wind of a potential author for a PRCo book and mentioned
that fact here - the book is expected by Spring of 2000.  But a letter
to this author - with an enclosed SASE for a reply - went unanswered!>>

Does anyone on this list know, if indeed, a book on PRCo is coming out?

I know that many years ago (in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s) 
several individuals in Pittsburgh were working on such a book. I also know at 
least one of them has died, and another had moved to Washington, DC.

Can anyone give an answer?
