[PRCo] Re: 3-car fantrip from Pittsburgh to PRMA Washington

Fred....

Although I wasn't on the trolley movement to Arden in 1954, I started taking
rail photos in 1950, and I'M (emphasis) still around (I think).

I watched PRC trolleys in Washington, PA as early as 1952, but I didn't have
my 120 box camera along then.  I was a Northsider (Spring Hill), and seldom
ventured south of the Allegheny or Ohio Rivers until the mid 50s.

Ironically, in the 1970s I lived in Bethel Park and rode the 36-Drake
trolley to/from downtown every day.
