[PRCo] If Only We Could!

Since several members have expanded the wish list to three, here goes:

    My first wish would be to run an 80 Series Brill Master Unit from West
Chester to 69th Street over the rolling countryside of Route 3 early on
Sunday morning.

    My second wish would be to run both the High Line, between Cripple Creek
and Victor via Midway and the Low Line connecting the same two mining towns
via Anaconda of the Cripple Creek District Railway.

    My third wish would take in the entire West Penn System, including the
isolated branches.

    We all wish we had a time machine like the one H.G. Wells wrote of.  He
also showed us the inherent problems with the same concept.  Thank heavens
we have research and photographs.  As they used to say in the late 60's:
"We could take a trip and never leave the farm!"
