[PRCo] Re: Ebay Trolley

[Herb Brannon]

I checked the Marietta track map and did not see anything which would cause
the trolley line to go under a bridge or through a tunnel on the Putnam/5th
line. The car in the photo is signed up for Putnam/5th. Most, in fact all
except for two railroad/trolley grade crossings are just that, crossings at
grade. Only two on the map could be underpasses, however they are
completely across town from the Putnam St and 5th St area. Maybe they just
had very low overhead. Low overhead would not be good for all the grade
crossings I noted on the map.
