Mr.Josephson;

This is an extreme reaction isn't it.  Little in life is one sided;  if
you are irritated with a response then others are not overjoyed with
the same posts ad infinitum ad nauseum.  If the observation that
the delete key should be exercised is valid so is the observation
that discretion in posting needs attention.  These are flips sides of
a coin to use a phrase with a very thin edge in between.

The email list address in your original post was interesting:  '@prn....'
Since you work security for a hospital you are probably familiar with
'prn' as a Dr. shorthand on prescriptions for 'take-as-needed.'
It seems railfans rehash old stories 'as-needed' to comfort
themselves on the loss of trolleys or other similar topics.

Isn't this overhead construction some 30+years old now?  Has anyone
heard the 'industry' complain or cancel rail construction because of
unsightly overhead in Pittsburgh?  The only place I have seen such
comments is from the railfans.  We need to forget it and move on.
It is now ancient history.
