[PRCo] Pittsburgh Railways Co. Track Map

[Herb Brannon]

DWIGHT,
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO GET THE MAP LARGER:
1.  OPEN THE MAP AND LOOK AT THE TOP, RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN
2.  FIND THE "DOWNLOAD ORIGINAL" BUTTON
3.  CLICK ON THAT BUTTON
4.  THE MAP WILL APPEAR IN THE ADOBE READER AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT
AS LARGE AS THE READER WILL ALLOW, WHICH IS QUITE LARGE.
THE MAP IS A TRACK MAP SHOWING THE SWITCHES, LOOPS, CAR HOUSES AND ALSO THE
TRACKLESS TROLLEY OVERHEAD SHOWING ALL SWITCHES, ETC.

I have always thought the PRMA/PTM 1959 map should be improved upon to
provide more detail. Like Steve and I said, a gathering at PTM of those
interested in making a better map would be the best thing to get the
project started.
