[PRCo] Re: Headways Route 12 versus Route 9

[John Swindler]

You won't believe the number of PUC dockets I found on Pittsburgh Railways.  
And may be only tip of iceberg.  It was Pittsburgh Railways Company during 
1950s/60s.  However, it was Pittsburgh Railways Company (system) with 
underliers periodically listed prior to coming out of receivership around 
1952.  So there could well be separate listings for Monongahela Street 
Railway Co., Admore Street Railway, consolidated Traction Co., etc.  I've 
got a list for this afternoons viewing.

p.s. Oh yes, your question.  Reading and Conestoga searches will be 
intermingled with PRC searches.

p.s. to p.s.  Again, as Ed claims, I can't retire - too much to look up.
