...which line operated over the same  trackage both inbound and outbound going in the
same direction?

http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/pitts/htm/pitt614.htm

Did the 87 line come down Electric outbound - turn right onto a side street, then left
onto Beech Street, left onto Bradoock then on into East Pittsburgh to Wilmerding?

Then, inbound, did the line, turn right onto Electric off of Braddock, then make that
same swing around the side street, Beech, Braddock, and back onto Electric?

Seems strange that that would be ther routing, but the above photograph seems to indicate
that it happened at least once -- or is the caption incorrect?  Or perhaps this was a
short-working of the 87?

Thanks,
Matt
