Zoom meeting Number 840 3996 5430               Passcode  572661


"The Magnificent 7” is a finance term applied here to Pittsburgh streetcars.  The magnificent seven are lines with extensive private right-of-way in the post West End era.  On the North Side, the lines include Fineview (21) and  West View/ Bellevue (10/15).  There are two magnificent lines in the East End including McKeesport via Second Avenue (56) and Ardmore (87).  The South Hills operated three “Magnificent” lines including Library (35) , Drake  (36) and Dormont/Mt. Lebanon (38/42).  The portion of the program about the South Hills will show the conversion of the three former streetcar lines into modern Light Rail.

Come join us for an interesting evening in Chicago’s South Loop.

If interested give our new CERA Executive Director, Elmer Haneberg, a call (773) 972-0470 and maybe a few of us can get to the Berghoff for a quick dinner before the meeting !!

 

The program will be held in person at a location To be Announced
