[PRCo] Re: Charles & Perrysville a Double Track Wye for Sure!!

[Bob Rathke]

I also have a couple of photos of PCC's with the "Pa. Station" sign, but they
were taken in the early 1950's.

And this re-raises the question: where are the large painted signs listing
trolley routes serving the PRR and P&LE stations?  These signs hung under the
P&LE Station canopy, and under the canopy on Liberty Avenue at 11th St.  In
1965 I took a photo of the P&LE sign, but never shot the PRR sign.
