Hi guys,
I just sent you a series of about 14-20 emails on Pittsburgh Railways in 1948.  Most of the posts were by Leroy Demery, who I believe is a transit planner.  He's doing a research project on transit density (daily passengers mileage/route mileage) which is a measure of how viable particular lines are. As part of this Leroy has estimated the average travel distance. Also included are several replies from Ed Tennyson who was employed by Pittsburgh Railways during this time frame.  The source document is the 1949 Lougee report on the conversion of streetcar lines to bus operations.  Enjoy!
