[PRCo] Re: Interesting item on eBay Canada web site item#1022929358: DUQUESNE, PA. STEEL MILL, TROLLEY, RARE!!!

[Fred W. Schneider III]

This is one you might want to "glum onto."  I've never seen it before. 
I'm not sure when Pittsburgh Railways extended over the West Penn tracks
to McKeesport.  Up until sometime in the 1920s PRC route 68 cars and
West Penn McKeesport-Duquesne cars ran over these tracks.  West Penn
owned and maintained the steel until 1951 and rented it to PRC (it was
owned by PRC from 1951 to abandonment in 1960). The scan isn't sharp
enough for me to tell whose car it is.  

If you don't want to buy, then you might wish to draw Ed attention to
this one ... and change the
subject line "from interesting item on eBay (which he won't read) to
"Fred told me to send this."
