 I don't recall ever seeing a 54 FIFTH and CRAIG ONLY destination sign.  
 Perhaps that goes back to low-floor days.  In the early 1960s, the employee 
 schedules for STADIUM-FORBES FIELD cars were identified as route 79 SHADY. >>
                                                                                
                    The photo I have was taken by Joe Saitta. It is dated 
9/6/55. The roof sign reads 54 Fifth and Craig St. Only. However, the dash 
sign reads "Washington" so this was probably a fan trip car. Looks like the 
former could have been a legitimate dest. sign at one point. Don't know if I 
mentioned that the photo is taken at Ingram CH and the car is #5432.

Rathke sent me a scan of a car with a 61 sign. Photo is blurry and I can't 
read it. Something with "Shady" in it.  I wrote it down somewhere but can't 
remember where I put it. Bob???
