I double-checked the spelling before I sent that e-mail to the list, but I
guess I checked in with the wrong spellers.  Evans City area businesses
spell it "Connequenessing"; the Pa. DNR spells it "Connoquenessing".

That's ok, you spelled it wrong anyhow:-) More "o", less "e". I wonder if
the interurban's stops were spelled "correctly". It wouldn't be unusual
for a carrier and a town to disagree on spelling.
