Highland Park and Plummer St. Car Houses

[Jim Holland]

Greetings!

	These two barns apparently closed in 1954 and the routes were shifted
to Homewood.

	Was it necessary to cut any turns and switches anywhere into the
existing trackword to allow for the cars to pull-out-to- or
pull-in-from- their routes?

	From what I can see on the maps, both the 71 and 73 lines would use the
71 line to pull-out-to- or pull-in-from- the outer terminal.  It looks
like a turn might exist at Highland and Penn to accomplish this but the
map is not at all clear.

	For the 96 to get to Shetland, it would have to go inbound on Penn and
turn at the 60 terminal to come back outbound again.

	And for a 94-line car leaving Homewood for Aspinwall, it would be
necessary to use the 96 loop on Butler to head outbound again.

	Did car 1600 itself ever operate any of these lines - 94, 95, 96, 71,
73, 82?
