The Map I already sent established that Both Liberty and Penn were One 
Way Streets  --  this was ca 1940  (1936?)  through 1963+++  --  
possibly at least until the end of TrolleyCar service.     When it 
reverted to 2-way is unknown to me  (and not of any interest~!~!~!)
.
I left Pgh. in 1963 and have only returned as a "visitor!"     PRCo 
became a part of  ({[pat]})  in 1964 and I Personally consider 
1964--1972 the Final Death Throes of PRCo as  ({[pat]})  didn't not 
nohow noway want trolleycars.     That tune changed with the debut of 
the caterpillars in 1972.
.
The Heart of my interest in PRCo is 1930-1950  --  I lived PRCo in the 
1950s to 1963 so am decently familiar with it  --  I want to learn about 
that before my time and when I was young.

Herb joined  ({[pat]})  during the Renaissance of the organization when 
it was a Good Place  --  Good Relative to its former self.     You must 
have operated some very derelict equipment when you first started but I 
believe you started on beeses.
.
     What dates did you operate Rail in Pgh?
.
Why On Earth did you leave Pgh after 15-years seniority?
