[PRCo] Re: (No Organization: Enjoying Retirement!

[Richard Allman]

Toronto, but on the roof and ok not in the US. Since the site has been so 
tame of late, just to stir things up, I was thinking about PCC's(yeah I know 
I ought to get a life!) and thinking about what cities had 2 different 
systems w/ PCC's. What I came with: St Louis: SLPS and Illinois Terminal-no 
brainer-ba-da-bing; LA-LARwys/LATL and PE; Philadelphia-PSTCo. and PTC-if 
Fred allows that Red Arrow St. Looies were real PCC's; Cleveland-CTS and 
Shaker Heights. THEN if you stretch it and include Metro areas, Brooklyn and 
Newark and if you really stretch it-Baltimore and Washington-but that 
Metroplex will never be allowed! Attached is photo of the HO Red Arrow St. 
Looies  I amde w/ huge help from Bob Dietrich! RICH
