Greetings!

	Gleanings  From  *Trolley  Fare*
		February--1965

	"PAT plans to scrap 40 PRCo trolleys and has bought the Duquesne
Incline for 40,000 dollars, just 7,000 dollars less than its cost new. 
The incline has been leased to the Society for the Preservation of the
Duquesne Incline for a nominal $1 per year.  If the Society are unable
to make ends meet and continue operation, PAT will scrap the incline."
