[PRCo] Re: Latrobe (Greensburg Picture)

[Edward H. Lybarger]

So we drove right past it!  Well, I've done that before.  And I can't even
blame the sun!  But that was the Underwood area and the car is signed
Ludwick (period).  The regular Underwood dash sign read "Greensburg
Underwood  Keystone No. 1  Huff-Reamer Ave," (Main line via Hecla
destinations)  And there is a photo I got from Steve Maguire (perhaps not
his negative) of a car with a dash sign reading "Ludwick  Greensburg
Haydenville  County Home  Youngwood  Foxtown," which were Main Street
(Hunker line) destinations.  So this car in this location is of another era.
Interesting.

Thanks, Derrick.

Ed

I now have pictures which I will post later.

Also Ed's unknown picture is on the north side of East Pittsburgh St in
Greensburg, between Highland and Tremont
