[PRCo] Re: Pittsburgh Railways maps

[Bob Rathke]

I remember getting a copy of the map in 1958, and it was still being 
distributed by PRC just before the PAT takeover in 1964.  I have several 
copies of the map, one of which includes an 8-page, 8-1/2" X 11" "Fare and 
Route Update" insert dated March 15, 1962.
