Oh jeeez - yes, I have that book.  And absolutely, too bad the other two volumes were never published.   I don't know if all of the information in the books was absolutely-positively accurate  (I think there was some discussion on that), but nonetheless, I found the first volume enjoyable.

>From "Pittsburgh Railways, Vol 1" by R. L. Beal, copyright 2002. Too bad Vols 2 and 3 were never published. It's a more "inexpensive" printing job, however, it is the only thing available and probably will be the only thing ever available pertaining to a history of PRCo. Blaine Hays was supposed to come out with a history of PRCo, however, it looks like he has been "silenced" inasmuch as nothing has been voiced about its' publication for two or more years now.
I am picking some items out of this book and will post them on The List in the near future.
