[PRCo] Re: wrong side of the river?

[John Swindler]

  Just providing a link to a document on Pittsburgh Ry. that is NOT on the Pittsburgh digital history site.  The table of car assignments was the point at which I thought others might be interested in this volume.     There was also the suspicion that I could easily waste a lot of time over analyzing this car assignment table.  That said - I'll have another look at the table.  It gives car assignments before and after initiation of two digit route numbers. As for interurban routes - maybe the author forgot to add together cars dispatched from both Castle Shannon and Charleroi car houses???????  Just a possibility.
