The date for the Cleveland photos is summer 1964, post Port Authority 
takeover.  On other hand, so much else is inaccurate, that I should be 
suspicious of this date.  Some other photos are attributed to Blaine Hays.  
Was he a Cleveland railfan?????????  (name sounds familiar, but can't place)

Was the Pittsburgh Railways collection the start, and streetcar photos from 
other sources added to this collection??  Did the photos actually come from 
Pittsburgh Railways, or from another source?  (guess I'd better go back and 
see what else might be posted concerning this collection)  Quite a few have 
a definite 'railfan'  (sorry about that) look to them.   Still, I've never 
seen photos of McKeesport and Homestead carbarns.  Wonder what else they 
have that wasn't posted.
