[PRCo] Re: Butler interurbans

Mr.Brannon;
Wrong answer to wrong question.  The 'freight' terminal was
on Duquesne Way well into the point.  Prc, WP, and Butler
interurbans all used the freight terminal.  What you mention was
an office for the Interurban and possibly a passenger waiting
room at Penn and Stanwix.

Additionally, I doubt if anyone asked if the sign would still be
extant nearly 100-years later but rather had some other question.
That part, however, doesn't interest.

I guess you mean the original thread which was titled, 
"Butler Sign". I thought I answered that question three 
days ago when I wrote:
"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 see that all the old buildings have been replaced
by newer, much taller structures over the years.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."
