  This was a copy and paste job from PTM's website.  (I caught the mistake
after I sent it)

"I don't suppose Pittsburgh Railways was ever involved in troop movements

Not that I know of.  My father was given a train ticket to Pittsburgh on his
way home from Europe after VE Day and took the interurban to Washington that
evening.  He served in Co H of the 110th Infantry and saw action from
Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge.  He was upset when I took him to PTM
and found out that none of the big red cars were saved.  He liked those the
best.
