[PRCo] Skybus piece from Post Gazette

[John Swindler]

The recollection is a somewhat bumpy, slow ride.  But perceptions can be deceiving.  Speed might have been as fast as the PCC cars attempting to negotiate PAT's abysmal trackwork from that era.  
 
Which brings back a memory of last day of Drake around 1999 - PCC operator was running 'pedal to the metal' -  and kept thinking that this was amazing - something never experienced 25-30 years earlier from the Skybus era.
