Greetings!

	Gleanings  From  *Trolley  Fare*
		February--1965

	"The Tunnel 1600's that had been at Craft for a while for use on 65/55
have now been partly  [??partly--which parts??!!]  returned to the South
Hills.  Only 1666, 1670, and 1673--1674 remain at Craft.  The reason
hasn't been any reduction in service on 65, but instead the application
of 65 signs to the rollers of most of the Craft original 1600s
(1601--1605, 1607, 1609, 1610, 1612) and to at least one 1500, namely
1504.  1775 had also recently been working out of Craft, and had been
seen on 65/55 with a home-made sign stuck between the gladd and the
rollsign."

	Was this an actual route at this time - 65/55 - or is it just a method
of stating 2-different lines?
