	*44-Knoxville__PA-Sta*  valid until  *about*  1969 after which
apparent route was left from Smithfield to Liberty to Wood etc.  
---   well into  ({[pat]})  reign.    Same reason may be true 
--  no real passengers.

	Other factors to conider could be consolidation of routing and
cutting back on extra //  unnecessary trackage although it
remained intact until about 1972.
