[PRCo] Donnell stop

[Bob Rathke]

I lived in Bethel Park from 1972-84, rode the 36-Drake every day, and drove
along the 35-Library line several times a week. I regularly photographed the
35 and 36 lines starting in 1959, but I never heard of a "Donnell" stop.

I just checked my Bethel Park 1968 street map, and there is no listing for a
Donnell street or stop.  The closest spelling to "Donnell" is Donati Road,
but that is/was on the 36-Drake line, neat the Dorchester stop.

No one ever accused Roberta Hill of writing detailed captions on her photos.
