[Edward H. Lybarger]

This is fantastic, Ray.  A nice one-on-one comparison for the various years.

I find the current Pgh trolley map quite sufficient Mr.Lybarger.  It does
have details for all track doesn't it, even non-revenue track.  The only
difference between this and the Toronto map is computer drawing overlaid on
a street map.  The computer map allows for enlargement but this has
drawbacks doesn't it.
.
I prefer the printed page over a computer screen as print allows much more
detail for given area.  Zooming on the computer isolates a very small area
for detail making it difficult to see how it fits the whole without constant
zooming back and forth.  This is not a problem with the printed page is it.
.
A friend has a large format printer; I shall ask him to print the Toronto
map for study.

Unfortunately, there are many worthy publication projects that PTM might do,
but there are also too few people with too little time available to do them
or even supervise them.  I agree that the track map is one of them.

I used to be able to volunteer 1900+ hours annually to the museum, for
example, but last year it was down to 300+ hours.  Times and situations
change.
