[PRCo] Re: 97

[Edward H. Lybarger]

A point that has been eluding us all in these discussions is that until
1938, the numbers we came to know as route numbers were officially
"destination numbers."  The route numbers were the three-digit numbers.

The other thread that can't ever be forgotten is how much things changed in
a fairly quick time frame.  In the earlier years, it hadn't become the
calcified railroad mindset that allowed change only under duress.

Maybe because very early 98 wasn't Glassport-Wilmerding, and it is the
railfans on this fantrip that were correct.  
 
So what listing do you have for 97, Fred???
