[PRCo] Re: [PRCo]End of a Street car line?

[Jerry MATT Matsick]

My question when PRCo/PAT decided to cut a street car line, did not the people fuss about it?
I was in the Service during the 60s, if I had been in town I would have tried to stop it, but was
it just the sign of the times?  I remember when the drop the Donora car? I was just 11 but I was
upset.   Now cities are looking and the establishment of new RAIL LINES , I guess it is what
comes around goes around!    Groups thought?
