[edit] Washington streetcars

Thanks for the kind words and suggestion. I agree with you about the photos you suggested. Unfortunately, I can't use those photos without permission. So the ones I've used are all in the public domain. They're not very good. I'd really like to get some color photos. The Washington streetcars article is very much a work in progress. Any help you can offer is most appreciated. I'm still researching a good deal of it, and I've had to correct some of my own mistakes. I'm also working on some route diagrams. I should have those up in the next week or so. I had hoped by starting the article that others would chime in, but my experience in DC tells me that few people are knowledgable on the subject. Feel free to offer any suggestions. Really. SDC 22:25, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WB&A citations

I agree with your preference for citations. You probably know Morris Warren if you are writing about the WB&A Trail and work in Greenbelt. I am on the MD DOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (a governor-appointed advisory committee) and attend all the PG BTAG meetings, and I ask questions of all the park officials. So everything I added about the trail came from officials responsible for building trails--though of course I have seen alot if it as well. I didn't put everything in, such as the fact that Mr. Myers put up a sign saying that the trail will never cross the Patuxent, when the PG side first opened, or other more sensitive items that ought not be discussed here. Regarding the rr itself, an old timer recently told me the story about the rails. Basically, a teenager was playing with a pile of scrap rails in the late 30s or early 40s. He was able to pick up one end, he discovered, as heavy as they were. A few rails rolled down the hill near Glenn Dale hospital. He went to war, and when he came back, he remembered the rails, and checked to see if they were still there. They were, so he used a truck to drag them up the hill, and used them to support the main floor. He sold the house in 1977 to a man who sold the house to me in 1981.

I am a novice on Wikipedia, and I am just guessing that this is the way to return a message.

By the way, if you are able to restore a link I tried to add on the Glenn Dale, Maryland page, that would be nice. The page talked about Glenn Dale Citizens Association and I just wanted to add a link to their web site, but it's a geocities free site, newbies are presumed to be spamming when they add such links.

[edit] Reference needed

Regarding your last edit on the Allegheny Passage, would you please provide a reference for the Hot Metal Bridge ground breaking/celebration, per WP:Cite? Thanks, WVhybrid 01:28, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
