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?
