<DIV><FONT size=4>For the benefit of others on your list, I will point out that
this shot was taken the day AFTER discontinuance of service on PRC routes 60 and
68. This was a Pittsburgh Electric Railway Club enthusiast tour which
covered both routes, on Sunday, 21 September 1958. While both you and I
were on that trip, we had not met and did not then. Shame!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>This location is on 6th between Locust and Sinclair. The
track was owned by West Penn Railways until 1951 when ownership was transferred
to PRC. In West Penn days the track ran straight through the middle of the
street. PRC started using the WP tracks on Sinclair, 6th, and Locust as a
loop for Rt. 68 on 22 September 1928 under lease from WP and used the loop for
almost exactly 30 years to the day. At some point, date unknown to me, the track
on 6th was swung to the curb so that Rt. 68 cars laying over before returning to
Pittsburgh would not have to block the middle of this narrow street.
