Blaine is a regular attendee at HTM.  If I can remember to, I will make inquiries about the Pittsburgh project.

Ed Ridolph will soon be coming out with the first volume of a two volume set on PRC;  however, this is just a typical Morning Star picture book. V1 will cover North Side and East End.  A number of the pictures will be mine.

>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.
