	No One answered this question for Boris except Matt who hinted
at it as it was possibly  *reopened*  in the late 1970s for
emergency usage.

	In a subsequent post Boris makes this observation:

"""So, the 44-KNOXVILLE cars ended to serve the PRR station after
1967 East lines abandonment because of Penn Ave track removal?"""

	This was the mid to latter 1950s.    Sorry, can't be more
specific at the moment.    The B&O station was moved to Grant
Street.

	TrolleyCars still operated via shooflys on top of the pavement
around the construction area  --  remember this well but don't
have photos and can't find the same.
