[PRCo] Re: Interurban___Truncation

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Washington city lines were abandoned as follows:
May 2, 1953 was last day of scheduled service on W-4 East & West.  I believe
May 16 was the last day for W-5 North Washington.  W-1 Jefferson & Maiden
closed June 20, along with the car house at Tylerdale.  The interurban was
based out of South Hills (Tunnel) for the final summer.

I believe Donora was abandoned June 27, same as Charleroi.  I'm doing a lot
of this from memory; the complete records are at the PTM Library & I'm not
there this weekend.

Good question.  Here is another one for our archives.

When were Washington City lines abandoned?
Also when was Donora abandoned?
