	Tom Phillips says::  Webster, Monessen, Belle Vernon and Fayette City
Street Railway Co.  Were they still running in 1920??  Guess they were,
come to think of it.  I remember reading a first-person-perspective
written by Tom when he lived near the Charleroi line and he mentioned
that they were still operating - and he wasn't even a gleam in anyone's
eye in 1920!!

	I've had similar musings.  Think that was an  *intent*  in the very
early days, but one without follow-thru!!

	What about the 13-Emsworth line?  Didn't that used to have some kind of
interurban connection??  The PRMA map shows a previous extension to
Dixmont.
