[PRCo] Re: Smithfield St. Bridge trolley canopy.

[Bob Rathke]

I found another Station Square brochure from 1978.  It's a large, oversize
piece, full of architectural renderings of the new Station Square that was
about to open, and photographs of the old P&LE station.  A couple of
observations:

- The trolley canopy is not illustrated nor mentioned in the text.

- There is an aerial view rendering of the Station Square site, and a
passenger train is shown at the platform track along the Grand Concourse
building.  Text states that there would be special trains bringing shoppers
to Station Square from parts of the Tri-state area.  I don't believe that
those plans ever materialized.
