[PRCo] Re: Trolley Pole Dewirements

[John Swindler]

I was on the other service car (the uncrowded one) on last evening of 
scheduled service.  I'll settle for being last and only railfan on last  22 
Crosstown car and next to last off the Castle Shannon incline.  And maybe 
first to fall asleep on last 65 car.  (long story)
