I also liked the part about the "big Jones cars from local carbuilder
Pressed Steel Car Co."  One could assume from this narrative that they were
the only builder, instead of the builder of only 190 of the cars, none of
which operated regularly on the Charleroi Interurban.  And 140 of those 190
never had Jones control.  And weren't they all smaller than the interurban
cars?

Sounds like another "Accuracy in Media Award" has been earned, doesn't it,
Fred?

I love where the narrator says "Still active in 1990, the Overbrook
line...." dubbed in with the only picture in the entire film strip of the
actual Charleroi line.  When you hear that commentary, you are looking north
at White Barn Siding, Allenport.
