[PRCo] Re: 1970s Pittsburgh Trolleys VHS tape

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Matsick;

The following is not a detailed description;  it does give a hint.

	* Mid-1970s
	* Allen Morrison
	* Interurban Videos which seems 'unassociated with' Interurban Press.
	* I don't see a length;  did I miss that?A picture of the "original cover and artwork which are original"
would be a better clue to many of those familiar with the system
wouldn't it.


FROM INTERURBAN VIDEOS COMES THE RARE 1990 
VIDEO TITLED
"PITTSBURGH TROLLEYS- COLORFUL PCCS IN THE MID-1970S."
THE 
ORIGINAL VIDEO AND ORIGINAL COVER AND ARTWORK ARE ALL
ORIGINAL, DIRECT 
FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS FROM A 

PRIVATE COLLECTION, NEVER A 
RENTAL. THE VIDEO AND THE 

COVER AND ARTWORK ARE IN ABSOLUTELY MINT 
CONDITION!
 
DESCRIPTION: SINCE 1971, WITH THE ABANDONMENT OF THE 

KNOXVILLE AND CARRICK LINES, PORT AUTHORITY TRANSIT (PAT)
HAS RUN 
ESSENTIALLY FOUR TROLLEYS FROM DOWNTOWN 

PITTSBURGH TO THE SUBURBS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CITY. 

WITH RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM FOR LIGHT 
RAIL IN THE 

1970S AND EARLY 1980S, THE BASIC NETWORK WAS RETAINED, 

BUT 
THE VISITOR TODAY WILL FIND THE CITY UNRECOGNIZABLE. 

THIS VIDEO BY ALLEN MORRISON SURVEYS THE ENTIRE PITTSBURGH 

TROLLEY SYSTEM AS IT EXISTED IN 
THE MID 1970S. 

ABOUT 100 PCC CARS WERE OPERATING AT THAT TIME, AND IT 
SEEMED
THAT THERE WERE ALSO ABOUT A HINDRED PAINT SCHEMES AS WELL!


 Phil
