[PRCo] Re: PRCo----PCC----Trucks

[John Swindler]

Maybe not from a chronological age basis, but from a 'memory basis' I should 
qualify.  For many years never really gave any thought to past experiences 
growing up in Pittsburgh during the 1950s and 60s.  Focus tended to be 
current day transit events.  But this pittsburgh railways list has become 
quite a challenge. (interesting, but still a challenge) Amazed what others 
can recall of past events which seem like only a distant haze to me.
