Old PRCo route numbers-63 Trafford

[Edward H. Lybarger]

The route card is here.  Also, my father (who grew up in Wilkinsburg)
remembers riding it and knows that it backed up for a block in that
municipality.

Interesting question.  Yes, I remember rollsigns on some early 1960s
fantrips with 63-Trafford Express listing.  My question is:  who has
documentation that PRC actually identified 63 as "Trafford Express"?  And if
so, what did "express" signify?  I (very vaguely) recall 63 listed
(somewhere) as via Forbes, Ardmore, E. Pitts. to Trafford. But have no
recollection where I saw that route listing.
