<< 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?   >>

  Being that nobody answered my previous post, I'm resubmitting it. I know 
sometimes I'm a pain in the #!#, but like a little kid, I'm trying to learn. 
Thanks guys!
