[PRCo] Re: PRCo 1948

[Edward H. Lybarger]

The reality is that Joel Tarr doesn't know as much about Pittsburgh Railways
as he thinks.  He is an excellent historian who specializes in people and
industry, but when I read the title in citation years back, I came away
feeling that he was presuming some things not really in evidence.  Can I be
specific today?  No.  But if I had time I could go back and read it again
and make notes.  Will anyone make the time for me to do this?!
