[PRCo] Re: Donora fares and Street Car Power Supply

[mtoytrain at bellsouth.net]

Ed thanks for update on Donora fares, but another question to our brilliant trolley minds on thhe operation of trolleys in the Greater Pittsburgh area.

Seeing pictures and on one or two street car videos, mention "power company" strikes, most 
notable was when the service on the Pgh / Charleroi interurban line was interrupted by a strike, the
service was maintained from Roscoe/Elco to the Riverview Loop where the Charleroi cars shared the loop with the Donora cars.    Did this happen often?    What power companies where involved.
and to my "desiring to know" mind.   Where wasthe power actually  supplied?  for example on the Donora line, where actually was the power supplied to the trolley lines?

As Mark Mcguire my buddy said there are no stupid questions just questions to increase our knowledge of something we love to get a better understanding about. 

Special thanks to you Ed, Fred, Derric, Boris, Jim.  and of course Mark who got me once again totally involved with this grand and historic past of the PRC.
