	The article said:::::::

"""A few possibilities quickly come to mind in Pittsburgh:
       Smallman Street through the Strip District; East Carson
       Street between 10th and 30th streets; a loop around
       Allegheny Center to and from General Robinson Street,
       linking up with the proposed new T extension next to PNC
       Park; Fifth Avenue between Oakland and Shadyside; and a
       Downtown-crosstown line using Smithfield Street."""

	We had a similar prolonged discussion some time back.    Ray Lattner
suggested the Carson Street route  --  one or two other routings were
suggested as well.

	I said that talk was cheap  --  IF we really wanted to do something,
then lets organize.    The thread died immediately.

	Seen those cliches on Cement Trucks???????

		***Find a Need and Fill It***

"""-"Once again, it goes to show how wrong we are," declares
       Bob Abraham of Monroeville, a lifetime advocate of
       passenger trains and light-rail transit. He continues to
       question the Port Authority's decision not to hang onto the
       old streetcars and Pittsburgh boosters' failure to put them to
       good use."""

	If anyone is really concerned, as Mr.Bob Abraham apparently is, then
HE should take action and get something started instead of just being
quoted about it.    He Sees the Need  --  Start Filling!!:)

	TALK  is  CHEAP!!
