[PRCo] Re: Railroad excursions to PTM

[Edward H. Lybarger]

I was on a chartered passenger train that operated
Washington-Pittsburgh-Washington carrying Boy Scouts to see the original
Cinerama movie at the Warner Theater.  Not being much of a movie buff, I
don't know the year for sure but I'm guessing 1954 or 1955.  So it's a bit
less than 50 years!  We rode from and to Canonsburg that frigid day; the
walk from Penn Station to Fifth Avenue seemed to take forever.

Yes, there will be three excursions to PTM from Carnegie.  It will be the
first time in 50 years that a passenger train has traversed these rails.
Ohio Central will build a platform on the far side of their tracks from the
museum line near Museum Road.  Members of the museum operations department
are being recruited by Scott Becker to work as docents on the trains.
