Why Not Pittsburgh? (Muni F-Line)

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Westinghouse became CBS, which was bought out by Viacom.  They produce
garbage, in my opinion, but the stock profits are financing two jaunts to
Europe this year.  Do I speak with forked tongue, or what?

Isn't Westinghouse now known as CBS or ABC???  So that they can make lots of
money producing "mush for the masses."

As for Kenosha, probably painted in the paint schemes favored by those
responsible for its construction.  Just a guess, Ken.
