[PRCo] PRCo Route72

[Bob Rathke]

Don't forget that the CTS Rapid, as well as Shaker Heights Rapid Transit used CUT. 



The Fred Harvey House did a good busines in CUT, and was a regular lunch stop for me when I worked downtown in the late 60's and early 70's.

Ah, but the Pennsy did not use Cleveland Union Terminal …. it had its own station.   CUT was used by B&O, NYC. NKP, Erie, perhaps I forgot something … but not PRR.
