   I've always meant to ask someone this but never seem to get around to it. 
I noticed in the map on page 10 of the ERA Pittsburgh Interurban booklet. 
When PRCo decided to cut the lines back to the county lines,  why was the 
Washington line ended at Drake and not at Cremona or Montclair stops. The 
Charleroi line was cut back much closer to the county line than Washington. 
What was the reasoning behind this?  My guess would be because of the 
maintenance involved on the Drake Trestle. Maybe the fares dropped off 
considerably after Drake stop?  Thanks!
