	The official *Pittsburgh Railways Transit Guide* does not list this as
a route.  It *could* have been a shuttle to and from downtown but could
theoretically originate anywhere in the city TO the stadium and could be
dispatched TO anywhere following the event at the Stadium.
	Ed had indicated that at one time County Fair Trippers originated all
over the city and went direct to West Library (but I wonder about how
all the operators were trained for the single-track running on
Overbrook).  The same could be done for Stadium runs.

	South Hills.

	Craft.  The foreground looks like pole replacement / removal - the
background looks like track repair / removal.
