[PRCo] Re: Pittburgh Railway Company Map Draft

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Thank you very much; this is beautiful work.
Resolution on scaling may be endemic to pdf files.
I have not worked with these (other than viewing) but am
told the program adjusts binaries to fit space available thus
affecting resolution.
Isn't a similar type map also in some of the TGM Pgh.
videos?  This also gives a sense of the topography which
forced routing doesn't it, even roads!

Maybe the trolley museum would find this work valuable
and educational, Mr.Titchenal
