[PRCo] Re: West Penn Railways Fare Zones

[Fred Schneider]

Same here.  In my case I think it was the instructor / motorman Roy  
Taylor who indicated that was West Penn trackage.  But there isn't  
anything left to find today.
And I don't think I totally agree with Derrick on Lyle Blvd .... I  
think at some point Jerome was on the other side of the railroad.    
Let someone who is more ambitious than me find the map archive web site.
