62 Trafford - repaving*Thanks, Bob!*also Philly question

[John Swindler]

Thanks for update.

That was a long time ago.  My recollection was post-1963 when I got drivers 
license and pre-1972 when moved from Pittsburgh, and more likely earlier 
then later.  There's impression of being surprised to see rail still in 
brick street for 1-2 blocks before Hulton Bridge on Oakmont side of river.  
Knew it was for PRC route 78, but clueless as to 78-routing between Laketon 
Road and Hulton - until much later.
