[PRCo] Re: TRACING TROLLEY R_O_W

[John Swindler]

State Library in Harrisburg, main circulation room, map alcove in northwest 
corner of first floor.  They are in the large flat map file cabinets and are 
filed by county.  Mostly eastern Pa counties, such as Lebanon, York, 
Lancaster, Bucks, Montgomery, Schuylkill, Berks, Lehigh, Indiana, etc.  And 
yes, PTM does have a xerox copy of sections of the maps that show trolley 
rights of way.  So do several others on this list.  As for accuracy, better 
then USGS, but not perfect.
