As I recall, the 96 turned into the loop clockwise around back of the 
building, and then back out onto Butler Street crossing over the track 
it came into the loop on, and thus making a perfect loop, or "loop 
knot," if you will.  
The 95 Butler Street turned into the loop counter-clockwise and stopped 
in front of the building, then back out onto Butler Street, inbound, 
thus completing a u-turn.
The "shelter" was a pretty big brick building, I would say, for a loop 
shelter.  My hunch is that there may have been some kind of office 
inside, and probably a rest room.  There were benches out front and a 
phone booth.  The building, as I recall, had two sides, with the two 
sides joined by an archway.  Below the archway was an open walkway to 
the back of  buidling where the 96 layover.    I think there is a 
picture somewhere of this.  

As for route 2 Etna, there is still, to my knowledge, as square yellow 
brick building that the cars looped around, just off of -- OK guys, what 
is that street called, Grant Street?   It eventually becomes Mt. Royal Rd.

Route 3 Millvale pared down to single track at the end of Evergreen Road 
by Mt. Alvernia Convent and turned into a back alley that ran alongside 
a creek and entered a loop, counter-clockwise that rested just a few 
buildings away from where another Evergreen Road wyed off of Babcock 
Blvd.  The loop is still there, however the buses enter it directly from 
Babcock.

Can't describe 1, 4, and 5 myself.  Help.
