Re: Tuscarora Almanac for July 4

Thank you for the kind words. And yes, the Highland Branch was a significant step forward and is often credited with being the starting point of the light rail renaissance in the US. Besides Boston, the only US cities with streetcars/light rail in 1959 were Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington DC, Cleveland, St. Louis, New Orleans, El Paso, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Boston, Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, New Orleans, and San Francisco survive today. Baltimore, Washington, St. Louis, and LA do not count because their light rail lines are brand new, not survivors of the old days.
