[PRCo] Re: Baggage Rack & Other Interurban Equipment

[John Swindler]

Particularly when coming inbound on the Parkway and approaching the curve 
before Bates St. exit.

Speaking of Bates St. (for those who don't want to accept PRC express bus 
routes as being a link with topic) what's known about the sale of the "Bates 
Street Railway Company" to Pittsburgh Railways Company in 1927????  Has 
anyone checked this out previously???
