Thanks for sharing!   That would have been a great transit system for Pittsburgh, living in Jacksonville 

we have a WABCO type system that ties the Southside (South Bank) system with Downtown (North Bank) and is neat to ride on,  can be found on Youtube under Jacksonville Skyway Express. 

Thanks for sharing this good article

PS just learned of some sad news from my old hometown of Donora,  once having 6 public school 

buildings and 3 Catholic Schools, the remaining school (old Donora High) now a grade school 

center will be closed, kids moved to Carroll Twp School and the old school building will be torn 

down.    That is almost as bad when I learned they were taking the street cars out of  Donora and 

then out of the Mon Valley.   No Streetcars and No Schools!   TERRIBLE!!!!!
