.......So, seems to me I have found an answer!
PRR station wasn't closed in late 60s as Bob Rathke pointed out but PRR, the
company itself dissolved in 1968. Thus no reason for PRCo streetcars to
carry PRR destination sign.
But the other question still remains unanswered - date when was the 44
downtown loop changed. And reason.
