[PRCo] Re: Auctioned PCCs

[Fred W. Schneider III]

We all have those places we wished we'd been old enough to see.  Or
places we want to go back to.  Jim Shuman, here in Lancaster, wanted to
go back to the Cincinnati and Lake Erie for one last ride into the
setting sun over Big Darby Trestle.  I'm sure one more trip to the
Indiana Railroad would have made him very happy, having watched him
grinning from ear to ear on a CSS&SB line car fantrip (he had ridden the
same car on the IRR). 

In my case, something I missed and deeply regret was Los Angeles Railway
/ Los Angeles Transit Lines.  I loved glancing at the pictures you
attached Charlie.  I've never saw it as a rail system.  Only since the
1970s.  But I saw enough pictures and slides, and I've crawled under an
adequate number of cars at OERM to have determined that they deserved a
nationwide permanent prize for maintenance excellence.  I don't need to
hear anything against National City Lines.  They ran one hell of a
trolley system in Los Angeles for as long as it was profitable to do so.

Thanks Charlie.
