Hello all,

Here is a short photo booklet I bought that was worth the price to me as 
it contains pics I have never seen of East End Lines, the Aspinwall and 
Morningside lines, Munhall, McKeesport, West End, and others including 
the South Hills and interurbans lines (which seem to be everywhere).

The only thing is a good deal of the captions describing the photos are 
wrong.  They're close, but no cigar.   For example, a 65 Munhall coming 
down 12th Street clear as a bell is described as the ^0 East Liberty on 
8th Ave.   Two cars rounding South Hills Junction are described as two 
cars at the Carrick loop.   Oh well.

Here is the book:
Pennsylvania Trolley Photo Album, vol#2 Pittsburgh Railways Co. Nice 
photo companion to above history.  Many black & white PCC's and some low 
floors, circa 1940's-early 1960's,  Rohrbeck, spiral bound,  $10.00 NEW

And here is where I got it:
