[PRCo] Re: Beeses vs Trolleycars

Interesting differences in perspectives.

So much PRW?????  Not in the east end where I grew up.  But then Jim hails 
from the Dormont area, and I feel so ancient talking with Derrick who is of 
a younger generation that only remembers the South Hills.

So from my perspective (as a post-war baby boomer), PRC was primarily a city 
streecar system serving numerous outlying communities, often based on the 
steel economy.  Oh, and it also had a bit of prw on a couple lines, such as 
56, 10/15, 87, 42 and 35/36.  But 6, 8, 13, 18, 19, 21, 22, (I was too young 
for west end), 38, 39, 40, 44, 47, 48, 49, 50, 53, 77/54, 55, 57, 58, 64, 
66, 67, 71, 73, 75, 76, 82, 85, 88, 94, 95, 96, and 98 were city street 
lines.

Just a gentle reminder of what was.
