It's getting dizzying following this little sub-thread.

The Pittsburgh Harmony Butler & New Castle ran by way of East 
Street and the Evergreen line, as has been discussed in detail in the 
past couple of days.

The Pittsburgh and Butler (the Mars route) ran over the Etna line, as 
Fred (whichever) is asserting.

Harold, in a word, misspoke. Nobody can be right every time, but he 
has a pretty good record here.

It can get a bit confusing, since the Harmony and Mars routes were 
under the same management from 1918 until closure in 1931 (dates 
grabbed on the fly from Hilton.)
