[PRCo] Re: Butler Sign

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Wayne has donated copies of his book to PTM's library, along with his
original research.  It contains photo material I've never seen before, along
with the usual interpretive text.  Like many of his books, it is heavy with
"now" pictures to complement the historic ones.

Fred,  Herb

The following is not a commercial.  I'm just offering information, without
opinion or recommendation.

The latest in Wayne Cole's series of books on western Pa. tramways and
railways has just been advertised for sale.  It is called Ghost Rails 7--The
Short Line and as the name implies covers the Butler Short Line.  It's
available from the author at ColeBooks, 1402 Seminole Circle, Beaver Falls,
Pa., 15010.  HB, 208 pgs, 16 in color.  $53 ppd.

I've not seen it yet, but Wayne's books usually have a lot of old photos
plus facts or suppositions that he has dug up from a variety of sources.

  If you take a "Google Earth" look at the streets (and from all sides)
where
  the line looped you will see that all the old buildings have been replaced
  by newer, much taller structures over the years. Chances are slim to none
  that the sign is still on a building, and, slim probably left town.
