There's a hodgepodge of stuff in this.  Some are PRCo photos, some are
condemnation inventory photos, some appear to be "unofficial" views.  A lot
of it we have at PTM.  Some of it is mislabeled, too.

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.
