	56-McKeesport and 65- lines And Equipment came to South Hills
upon closure of Glenwood in 1961, still in PRCo days.    Assume
other Glenwood lines operated from SHJ as well but some could
have gone to Craft.

	When Glenwood closed, 1500s were Re-Introduced to South Hills
after being gone for a good decade from their initial assignment
upon delivery and for most if not all the rest of the 1940s.

	1000-series cars saw service in the South Hills in the 1930s.   
Don't know when they left  --  rather Early in PRCo PCC History,
it seems  --  but they never came back!!

    with the similar tantalisation that something,
        sometime, somehow, will turn up.
