And you also need to go to Harrisburg and study all of the Department of Internal
Affairs annual reports.  Supposedly, the line operated from 1904-1932 but my
spreadsheet only shows reports from 1901 and 1905-1920.  This may have been one of
those companies that elected to test the state regulations and ignore the DIA
requirement.  (Fairmount Park Transit never filed a report ... perhaps they got away
with it if and because they might have been a wholly own subsidiary of Woodside Park.)
