.......from the September--1954 *ERA Headlights* -- and I quote:::
"With Pittsburgh an all--PCC operation, active cars are assigned to car
houses as follows:: Manchester--57; Keating--79; Ingram--46;
South--Hills--(Local--and--Interurban)--169; Glenwood--67;
Craft--Ave.--140; Homewood--107. Spare conventional-type cars are
stored at all barns except Craft Ave. and Manchester, while 15 are
stored under cover at Carrick and 89 jam-fill Highland. Scrapping of
almost 100 old cars began at Ingram about August 1. With consolidation
of routes into the present 7 operating car houses, PCC series in each
are more mixed up than ever."
