Yes, I have the Traffic Trolley book: small, well done, very interesting.

Adding to Jim's list of maps should be a 1952 downtown street trackage map 
and 
1985 street and subway trackage from the PTM book "Streetcars in the Golden 
Triangle 1859-1985" and a general map in Tom Parkinson's "The Street
Railways 
of Pittsburgh, 1859-1967" by the Light Railway Transport League and PRMA.  
That English pub has changed its name I believe.  Tom's map is circa 1966
and 
in answer to some of the Carrick questions on routings, Tom says in 1966 
operating routes were 35 Library 36 Drake, 37 Sshannon, 38A Castle Shannon, 
42 Dormont, 42/38 Mt Lebanon, 43 Neeld Ave, 44 Knoxville, 47 Carrick via
Tnl, 
48 Arlington, 49 Beltzhoover, and 53 Carrick.  JIm - hope you can see your 
way clear to provide copies of your maps, after Y2k.

kSome of you may not of heard of a 1980 book (paper covers) The Trafford 
Trollleys, by Richard C. Albert.  At that time he was selling it direct and 
lived at 557 Washington Ave., West Trenton, N.J. 08628.  Maybe  Arnold B. 
Joseph could scare up a copy for you.
