[PRCo] Re: Too Much Snow on Lake Erie and Cleveland

[Jerry Matt Matsick]

Pittsburgh a Clean  beautiful and lovely city, I was standing in line at the local post office in our neighborhood here in Jacksonville, and a nice older couple standing in front of me turned and commented on the PRCo T-shirt I had on:   They said oh we were up to Pittsburgh this past fall what a clean, beautiful and lovely city, and we were surprised the air is so clear too, not like we were told it was like.
Oh for the days of Steel mills and Rusty old PCCS, 3800 series and Jones Low Floor cars!
