It would be grand if it did. I know that the rolling billboards were
usually assigned to Route 22, but I wonder if any were assigned to other
routes where the attraction/business they were advertising was located?

It seems rather sad to realize the U of P "U-Trolley" paint scheme spent
its entire life in the South Hills by default. It was painted on a 1700
ten years after the East End lines were abandoned. Ken J.
