.......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."
