[PRCo] Shelters

[Macmarka at cs.com]

  Looking through my collection of photos, I noticed a photo of a car at 
Drake dated 2/17/74. This was from John Bromley's collection. 1708 in o/w/o 
paint is descending the grade into the loop. I noticed up on the hill through 
the trees to the right, you can still see the abutment from the trestle and 
what looks to be the shelter from the old Drake stop on the Washington 
interurban. Makes me wonder if PAT ever removed the shelter or just let it 
sit there and rot. Makes me wonder even more if the rotting remains of that 
shelter are still there almost 30 years after this particular photo was 
taken. What ever became of some of these shelters on the old interurban 
lines? I know PTM has Richfol.                                                  
            While I'm on the subject of shelters......   Going back through 
my "Trolley Fare" mags from PTM, I noted once again the crew removing the old 
Smith shelter from the Overbrook line. What ever became of this shelter? And 
where does PTM plan on putting it if it hasn't done so already?                 
                                I think one of those shelters would look 
great in my backyard housing my well pump. Probably a little late for that.     
                                                                                
                                                                        Mark
