<p>I would have to say that the South Shore and the old Phila. and Western are the only interurbans left from the true interurban era. The P&W under Dr Conway made many great advances in traction transportation. The line P&W will be celebrating it's 100th Year in May. </p><p>I was a operator on the P&W for 34 years and drove the 160s and the Bullet cars and also the Liberty Liners (Electro Liners). I drove the new N-5 cars which are modern computer operated cars..It just does not seem the same when you can't here the hum of the motors or the patter of the air compressor. I also was the last operator to run the snowplow on the P&W back in 1988.</p><p>How time flies when we were having fun. </p><p> </p><p> </p>
