About the visit from Boris.

There are many things for Boris to see and do.
May I suggest a visit to some locations so typical
of PRC.

-  Rankin Bridge had trolleys using a modern highway interchange
-  Kenywood Park..a trolley park
-  PRC in McKeesport..a small city part of the PRC scene
-  Evans Aveshuttle and 99 Glassport
-  Rt 56 with PRW
-  SecondAve race track..also Etna, West Carson
-  4 major East End routes...87/88, 82, 70 series, 60 series
-  Schoenville shuttle
-  Lincoln Place..single track with turnouts
-  East Liberty and North side before URA mall destruction
-  Point and Manchester bridges before Ft Pitt bridge & Point Park

among many others.

This way he can take home the spirit of PRC as well as the technical
details of the PCC car.
