	No problem, John!

1960.04.24--1161--"Springtime Trolley Ramble"
	Monongahela Incline, 85, 82, 96, 95, 94,
	75, 64, 49, 48, 40, 36, 38A, 38, 42.

	A list of charters from Inception until Press Time was inserted in an
old PRMA  *Trolley Fare*   ---   think the list was compiled by longtime
member Dick Bowker for one of the special Anniversaries - 25th or some
such.

	Isn't this the same car for which you have a slide where it is on the
shoofly around the old timber trestle on Library?   Yet Library is Not
listed as one of the lines covered!   Was it actually covered and
omitted from the above list - or was the Library trip on an out-of-town
fantrip?

	Volkmer's book, pg.96, shows 1161 signed for the 82-line and it is
dated 1960.04.25  --  assume it is the same fantrip on the 24th!
