[PRCo] Re: John Bromley's slides

I too had a wonderful time in Washington this past weekend. I'd like to thank 
Tom Phillips and Fred Schneider for taking us on a fabulous tour of what once 
were the PRCo interurban lines. I want to go back sometime and check them out 
in the winter. We weren't able to see some parts due to the heavy foilage. I 
can now look at some of the photos I have and picture the location. What a 
difference!                                 Saturday evening  was fabulous. I 
would also like to thank John for putting together a first class slide 
presentation. John probably has the best slide collection around. He removed 
all the "garbage" so there wasn't a bad one in the bunch.                       
I was somewhat depressed when 1711 was in the barn not running when I arrived 
at PTM. At the intermission of John's show, however, I was elated. The folks 
at PTM had 1711 and 3756 waiting for us to take a night ride. Forgive me for 
being so blunt, but I almost creamed my jeans on that ride. I hadn't ridden a 
Pittsburgh PCC in 20 years. What a sight she(1711) was all lit up at night!  
Exterior-wise, 1138 looks even better than 1711. Makes me proud to be a 
member of such a fine organization. The 20 or so "regulars" should be 
commended for the time and effort they put into the museum. I'd like to say 
thanks to all the folks at PTM for the first class treatment I recieved.        
    I'm sorry Derrick that I never got to say goodbye. I hope you had a nice 
anniversary.
