Greetings!

	On second thought, you make a very good point.  I checked another map -
the one from ERA headlights June 1949 (but as John pointed out, this is
from out of town and does *apparently* contain a mistake on the 60-line)
but it does show the 78 looping in Wilkinsburg via Swissvale, Franklin,
Wood and Penn to return to the 78 run to Laketon / Verona. 
Additionally, no x-over is indicated on Braddock for reversing the cars.
