[PRCo] Re: Newsletter - 87 Ardmore & Other East End Routes

[Schneider Fred]

Thanks Matt only that parting shot of 4145 isn't at Arden.   That was  
the car that was restored by the Magee Museum at Bloomsburg PA.   The  
museum right-of-way was washed out by Hurricane Agnes in 1972 and  
Harry Magee suffered a fatal heart attack shortly afterward.    
Magee's kids had no interest in his museum.   I have no idea what  
became of the carpet manufacturing company he owned.   His car shop  
foreman (and my brain is lapsing) died a few years ago.   So did the  
photographer of many of those pictures.  The car migrated to the  
group in the trailer park in Cleveland's western suburbs.

You brought back memories.   I remember standing on the station  
platform in Wilmerding waiting for a Pennsy local to go back downtown  
Pittsburgh in 1956.   Rainy day.
