It wasn't open yet last trip. We'll see this time... if I fly.

I was at least a little irritated that the new Pittsburgh airport system
didn't continue through the airside terminal to what's now Business 60 in
Moon, but needing 2 security checkpoints (as you would if you wanted to
take advantage of the old terminal land for parking) would likely have
been a deal killer.

The ages of the cars on that system can be discerned. When traffic picked
up they added one car to each train. The new cars have square headlights,
the original cars have round headlights. Watch the trains arrive from the
end "portals" if you're in the airport.

The original Skybus equipment had no end windows at all, of course.
