[PRCo] Re: PRCo Routes

[Jerry Matt Matsick]

It is great that we now have a pretty accurate list of PRCo Routes, now if someone will
come in a put the "date" of their "closure" it would be super.
Another great thought would be to list trackage still viewable by routes, I am sure that
there is, like what has been mentioned the "wye" in Donora!   This is all part of the
PRCo and WP history!
