Open letter to Bob Dietrich ...

Look at the tall buildings in this video at the beginning and again around 6:40 and 7:52.

Makes one wonder when the Gulf Building, the Koppers Building, the Alcoa Building are going to appear at the north end of South Hills Tunnel in one of your modules ... 

Of course after you finish Smithfield Street Bridge and the B&O Station....

I don't know Barry how Johnstown Traction mounted those Pepsi crowns on the cars ... I suspect sheet metal screws.   They were removed in the last or so ... whenever the advert contract ran out on the cars.   Perhaps they were moved over to the new buses. I wasn't there to find out; was chasing British and German steam and trams that summer and saluting army officers.   (You notice which order I put them in.  Has something to do with priorities.)

Did you learn a new word?   The pressed metal cap on a soda or beer bottle was called a crown.  How do I know so much.   I spent part of one summer in Armstrong's Closure plant tending crown presses.
