Route--60--E. Liberty to Homestead

Greetings!

	As I understand the route, from E. Liberty the car runs on Penn, Shady,
Forbes, Murray, Hazelwood, Browns Hill Road, and 8th Ave. in Homestead
to a loop *before* the Rankin Bridge.  This URL is of 1259 at Kennywood
(http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/pitts/htm/wvp138.htm) so I assume the
route is extended past its normal terminal along Duquesne Blvd to
Kennywood.
	The June 1949 ERA map of PRCo indicates that the 60 turns left onto the
Rankin Bridge and follows the 67 line northwest to Forbes.  But if this
is the case, it must turn right at Forbes and then travel either the 87
or 76 back to Penn in E. Liberty as it is impossible to make a right
turn from Forbes onto Shady.  I assume that this is an error in the
map.  Someone else asked me about this and I would just like to confirm.
