There has been some discussion comparing ancient and modern schedules. My one 
experience riding the rebuilt line a few years ago left the impression that the 
trains operated at rather sedate speeds. Not only in Beechview and Dormont but 
farther out the line as well. And I don't think that can all be attributed to 
smoothness of the ride.

Don't know that I've seen the following question raised:

With reversion to the patterns of yore and the inevitable drop in traffic 
through Mount Lebanon, isn't that tunnel going to start looking mighty 
expensive?
