	None of the PCC Interurbans sported  CANONSBURG  etc. in the late
1950s  UNLESS  it was a sign from a personal collection which was
installed.   But it was not native to the cars.   Twasn't on the City
cars, either.

	While the interurbans were segregated during their  PRCo--life  (Is
There Life after PRCO??(:->))  the signs were changed out to include
local lines.   On rare occasions  (heavy snows)  interurbans were found
in service on other lines sporting the correct destination (route)
signs!
