As far as I know he didn't get to any of the above (yet anyhow)

And of this, well, I don't think he saw much either. On Friday we took a 
trip in on the 47L from Library (sadly not with PCCs as it was when I took 
my first trip), took some pictures from Blvd of the Allies down on the 
First St station, then returned via 42S to South Hills Village, back to 
Washington Junction, Library, then trips to see the PCCs at the old school 
in Bethel Park and outside the operations center at South Hills Village 
rail center.

Today I had personal problems and so didn't make it to the museum until 
late, but apparently Boris had the run of the pit and the blimp hangar, 
and in the evening also got a chance at the controls of Red Arrow 14; He's 
now operated further at the museum than I have.

Unsure what will happen tomorrow. Sleeping would be a good way to ensure 
I'm awake for it.
