Why so difficult? It ran on Glenrose, Hazelton (oughtn't that be 
Hazleton, considering we're in PA?), Bark, Wurzell and off this page 
of the map. Maybe not in the carriageways of the streets always, but 
following them nonetheless.

Bob, I've been meaning to offer: if you'll send me your mailing 
address I'll pop off photocopies from the 1928 (or so) topographic 
map of Fineview, 1:2400, locating the trolley line precisely. It's been 
my guide for locating the picture locations, but you could make 
better use of it than I can from 2000 miles away.
