Very good question - in more respects then you probably realize.  I'll let 
you know in ...  six months

I'll be in charge of the Free Transit Program for Senior Citizens, and 
dealing with 56 transit providers, including SEPTA Regional Rail.  I noticed 
that one of the providers is GG&C-Pittsburgh service, which is probably the 
successor to Suburban Lines, and previously Pgh. Rys. Washington interurban 
service.  I wonder if they serve the Meadowland/PTM area???  (how's that for 
bringing it back on topic??)

And a Merry Christmas and safe and enjoyable 2006.

John
