[PRCo] Re: Latrobe (Greensburg Picture)

[Edward H. Lybarger]

East Greensburg was originally a separate borough, merged into Greensburg in
1905.  Underwood Avenue was a prime residential street there, and the
community took its name.

Yes, the TTs in CERA 110 do indicate this as an alternate through
outing  --  Sand House to Ludwick via Terminal.  I wonder what year's
schedules they showed...we have a couple TTs from the 30s in the library and
I'm curious if and when any changes were made.  Perhaps my photos are
earlier than I thought.

Now what are the house numbers in the picture?!

Thanks,
Ed

We missed it in the confusion of trying to turn early.

The schedules reproduced in the CERA book show some Ludwick cars as from
"East Greensburg". I don't know what that means, specifically, but that's
as far east in Greensburg as the West Penn ran...
