[PRCo] Traffic on Oakmont Avenue

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Yes we were. A very good field trip.

The caption doesn't necessarily make sense...the traffic back-up is in the
lane opposite the single track, so I don't understand how the trolley is
causing the delay to the motorists.

Several of us were there 2 years ago. Ed, John Swindler, John Polyak, Chick
Seibert and myself made a trip out from uptown.
I zoomed in on the view to show the row homes. The large house in the
original image is now a Rite-Aid.
