Re: (rshsdepot) OT: Birmingham subway

["Paul Luchter" <luckyshow_@_mindspring.com>]

This I know but this is similar to the 4th Avenue (Park Ave. ) NY and Harlem
tunnel. Anyway I always found it odd that in San Jose, Cal., an underground
walkway like at the SP station, was called a subway, as I think it might be
in London as well....Still there are not many trolley tunnels either are
there?  And here is an addition to the "Elevated", though St. Louis was only
the west long long ago. There was that interurban, I think to Alton that was
elevated, but would our definition of an elevated railroad have to include
local stations or else the Rock Island into Chicago is an Elevated; and even
though it is elevated it is not an Elevated..
