Actually, Jerry, gas prices peaked in 1981-82, when measured in constant
2005 dollars, at $3.05-3.10 per gallon.  It was $2.47 down the street this
morning, and is about 6 bucks in England and Germany.  The price hasn't
slowed us down, but then again we don't have much transportation
choice...you've seen where we live!

> Wanted pictures of Charleroi Interurban/Donora line streetcars?   I have a
number of the
   Charleroi interurban operation, but only a few of the Donora car in
operation  looking for
   pictures of cars on the 10th to 11th street passing siding on Mckean
Avenue or on the north end
   of town between 14th and 15 th streets on Meldon Avenue.  Any help given
is greatly appreciated,
   i can remember as a boy sitting on an upstairs porch in this area looking
at and listening to "two"
   Jones low floor cars side by    side with their I guess compressors chug
chugin along.     Love to
   think back to the good ole days of Street Cars.

   Second question - wonder if the LRV ridership is up in Pittsburghand
Philadelphia with the
    Gasoline prices   at   all time highs!
