[PRCo] PRC - little blurb about snow sweepers

[Matt Barry]

 From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette almanac, "one hundred years ago - 
April 8, 1902."

After this morning's unexpected 7-inch snowfall, a near-repeat of the 
record 12.7-inch snowfall on April 3, 1901, the Pittsburg Press reported 
that residents of Bellevue and Woods Run were dumping the heavy snow off 
their rooftops onto the streets, while on the South Side, the "White 
Wings" clearing Carson Street "threw mud and slush on pedestrians, and 
there were many irate people who did not say very choice things about 
the traction sweeper."

I take it that some turn-of-the-century traction equipment swept the 
tracks vigorously!
