My aunt and uncle came down from VT for my sister's wedding. They left 
Jersey Wednesday, I think, and he reported crawling down 222 to Reading.

Other things from this weekend:

Arcadia book on Carnegie. Shows a PCC derailed into a shop in (1951?) in 
Carnegie. Didn't hear of that before.

Also, apparently the Mon Conn crossed Carson near 29th, by the car 
house. I've not seen shots of that crossing, nor of the one at 21st St. 
Have any of you?
