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
like the mainline railroads did, were they? Just curious; This crossed my
mind before, and I never looked into it."
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.
