Trackage was retained to get cars to and from the heavy repair shop at 
Homewood. Inasmuch as the trackage in East Liberty was being removed or paved 
over for the "rebuilding" of the E. Liberty area, cars could not use the 
87/88 tracks (in the E. Liberty area) to get to Homewood CH. The trackage 
used to get to Homewood was outbound on the 76 route to Tioga St. Loop, 
through the loop and inbound on the 87/88 tracks to Homewood CH.
