Someone remarked on "the memories of a 14 year-old", now for those of
a 10 or 12 year-old...

On a couple of our infrequent trips to and from Pgh, I recall
distinctly that there were some sort of color-light signals on the
line in the median of Ardmore Blvd. I thouht they were
red/yellow/green, but it was a long time ago. I do recall watching
them change as we followed a car out from Wilkensburg. (Going in, it
was broad daylight and they were less noticable.)
