Thanks for that link and bundle of information, 88 ! Having worked the PC, CR Conemaugh Mainline, am particularly aware of the remnants of the PRR's predecessor canal system, and some of the remnants still visible along the route Johnstown to Pittsburgh, including aqueducts crossing the Allegheny at Freeport and Pittsburgh. More Googling to do now - and thanks to you, Jim, for coming up with this fine bit of inspiration and history. Bob C.
