	But the flip side of that is  *Pittsburgh*  is used in the generic
sense   ---   the steel wasn't produced in Pgh., either, but 
*Pittsburgh*  was always listed as 
*The--Steel--Capital--of--the--World*    ----    Y-E-S???:)

	""".......practically every type of urban route on the system."""    
.......is a direct quote from the paper, sir;  please Note that First
