TEA -- Historic Lines

[Robert Schmidt]

>From a standpoint of no brainer economics, and perhaps considerably less
bureauratic hazing from Allegheny County and City of Pittsburgh
officialdom, points Southwest may be a more applicable, if not
appropriate, location with regard to PRC's "Second Coming".

As HrB suggests...using PTM as a staging area for both storage and
maintenance, funding may well allow for additional sheds, expansion of
the museum's own yard trackage, and a rebuild of the old  right-of-way
from PTM on into Washington, PA. 

However, the real fun starts when Washington, PA officialdom learns of
plans to lay rail on their streets AND, should I be so bold as to
mention the word "overhead" at this time? Now, imagine the hilarity
involved taking this prospective scenario to the Pittsburgh
heirarchy...those who are presently "removing history" from the city at
an alarming rate and renovating in hopes of attracting new business. Or,
is all this modernization being effected to counter an increasing number
of people and business's leaving the city on an annual basis? Just a few
things to ponder.
