They did the same with Glenwood Car House. Also, the transfers had the word 
"Co." removed from the Pittsburgh Railways Co. name prior to PAT transfers 
being used.

Also, after Ross Garage was finished and opened (on the site of Keating CH) 
it was common the hear operators talk about being called into the 
superintendents office for "re-instruction" if they were overheard using the 
name "Keating" instead of Ross. I never witnessed this, however, heard about 
it from scores of operators.

I guess PATransit wanted it made very clear who was in charge now.
