Gee, Fred

My list of Pittsburgh Railway routes must be incomplete.

I don't see any East Belt line listed.

Did it have any connection with the Bloomfield belt lines or the 
Forbes-Shady-Penn belt lines??

And back on topic, there's a vague recollection of waiting on Electric at 
Linden for an inbound 87 Ardmore.  It then continued inbound on Electric to 
Ardmore Blvd.  It did not loop in East Pgh.

Gosh, that Sunday/Holiday pass riding was fun.  Unfortunately, didn't 
realize how lucky I was.
