[PRCo] Re: ROUTES 38 and 39

[Edward H. Lybarger]

I spoke with Art Ellis about this today.  He recalls no circumstances in
which 38 and 39 were scheduled collectively.  What you see was appareltly
the luck of the draw.

Subject: [PRCo] ROUTES 38 and 39


Finally, from me, a pure Pittsburgh question.  I'm looking at two borrowed
negatives from a very nice man in New Jersey (who shall not be named) taken
on the same day but on different trips.  One is at the SH Jctn Traffic
Office, the other on the r/w at the 35/36/37 junction.  The first is on
Route 39, the second on Route 38.  Both about the same part of the day (i.e.
one isn't morning rush and evening rush).  There is no question of them
being on different days, both on August 2 1946..  Both Car 1240.

The Q - did 38 and 39 interline in the same fashion as 35 and 36 in later
years??
