[PRCo] Re: PITTSBURGH VIDEO

[Matt Barry]

Yes.  This was something to see - particularly the 56 McKeesport on the 
Glenwood Bridge & up along Mifflin Road.  

I am hoping that some astute filmographer out there shot a view or two 
of what the Glenwood Bridge landing on the Hays side looked like during 
the traction years.   If so, maybe this will turn up in TGM's East End 
volume(s).

Nevertheless, the Sunday River video is a treat and I recommend it 
despite the misinterpretations of  locations and the mispronounciation 
of Pizzburgh.

I agree that the cars, in some scenes, looked pretty doggoned beat-up. 
 As someone wrote in one of the PCC books, Pittsburgh Railways paid 
attention mainly to the mechanics of the cars and left thebodies go once 
it was determined that a public authority was around the corner.
