OrlandoRei,

The first two photos were most likely taken on the same day. Youville shops ?

Allan: Please let me know what the TMNY email states. I know they never ever had any Baltimore Transit streetcars. Unless you're thinking of the Baltimore Streetcar Museum

Can you tell me anything about this location and route ?

I was scanning some old slides from my collection and the ones I'm posting come from the A.L.R. collection. Does anyone know what name belongs to the initials A.L.R.? Thanks in advance for any help Is this the Philadelphia & Western's 69th St facilities ? https://i.imgur.com/PslyAdn.jpg Route 3...
