	That is a possibility!  There were at least 2 crossovers there, maybe 
three.  This would allow for single end cars to pass regular cars on layover 
in either direction.
	If you have Harold A. Smiths book *Touring Pittsburgh by Trolley* the 
map on page 15 for the 10 lines shows three crossovers.  So does the map put 
out by PRMA (but the crossovers are very hard to see!)
