The loop for the 38-A cars was immediately adjacent to the loop for the
37 cars and no more than 100 feet from the35 - 36- ibrary - Riverview -
Canonsburg - Washington - Charleroi cars.  The current Castle Shannon
station on the Mt. Lebanon line is several blocks north of the interurban
line, and just south of Castle Shannon Boulevard.  I have not been to
Castle Shannon in years so I don't know if they have figured out how to
make a joint terminal where the two lines physically join.
