Well Fred that leaves me off the hook for those buildings, I won't be doing
Smithfield Street bridge in this lifetime.  I just can't do that much
repetition.  

The Southern Calif Traction Club is the opposite of East Penn.  Where we are
a loose bunch caring only about the module interface they are tightly
controlled so everything on their modules is coordinated and put together
the same way at every show.  It looks like the downtown scenes were taken on
Sunday morning, no people around.

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.
