[PRCo] Re: Next Car Light Question

[Jerry MATT Matsick]

Fred -
When I was just a youngster in the 1940s we would ride a Donora car to Monongahela and attend
a church there, upon return we would stand across the street from the FBC in Monongahela and
The Charleroi car would come by and not stop?   We would wait and get on the Donora car?  Why would
the Charleroi car not stop?
