[PRCo] Re: Railways Co. Property - 805 Mifflin Road

[Herb Brannon]

The PRCo route 56 right of way is still visible to (roughly) the north of
Mifflin Road between Interboro Avenue and near the beginning of Theodore
Avenue. Around Theodore and then inbound,to near Lebanon Road some of the
PRCo right of way must be now occupied by Mifflin Road. These days the
roadway is three times the width compared with Mifflin Road width when the
streetcars were running. And when the cars were running back then the tracks
were next to the very narrow road. I was there back in December and noticed
the right of way.
