IF MEMORY SERVES CORRECTLY, 7-CHARLES ST." WAS THE ONLY LINE OPERATED 
ON 5TH STREET BETWEEN LIBERTY AND PENN.  I DO NOT RECALL WHETHER IT 
TURNED INTO 5TH STREET FROM LIBERTY OR CONTINUED INTO 5TH STREET FROM 
5TH AVE.  AT PENN IT TURNED WEST TO STANWYX, NORTH TO DUQUESNE WAY, 
THEN EAST TO THE 6TH ST BRIDGE.  DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS?

	Was it That Early in the game that the 7-line was cut back?  It used to
run to the PRR station.
