Pennsylvania Trolley Museum does stock Ben Rohrbeck's new Pittsburgh
book.  I'm sure Lynn would be very happy to sell it to you and let the
museum make a little money.  (I don't know her e-mail address but you
could try sbecker at pa-trolley.org and ask Scott to forward the note.

For those who have not seen the museum lately ... PST 14 looks, in the
oft repeated words of Tony the Tiger, Grrrreeate.  Inside just cleams in
new paint.  New seats.  Outside sparkles.  All the bright metal ...
headlight rims, window sash, etc., are polished.   (You need to look to
find evidence that it isn't a new car ... a ding in the window sash
where some kid hit it with a rock in its last life, for example.  And I
never knew how much space two disassembled St. Louis car trucks consume
... the whole back room of the shop is filled with two frames, the
equilizer bars, springs, motors, new wheel sets.
