Good Morning!

	It was 53 years ago on New Years' Day when Pittsburgh Railways
was under new ownership.     Many events have  happened since
then.

++  The Route 9 shuttle was abandoned
++  Buses were now labeled "Pittsburgh Railways"
++  Routes 17, 20, and 81 were now all bus.
++  The Herron Hill carhouse was closed and
	turned over to the Way Dept.
++  Route 85-Bedford now operated from Craft Avenue and
++  Route 22-Crosstown now operated from Manchester barn.
++  Route 37-Castle Shannon now ran only during rush hours,
	but with the Washington and Charleroi cars still
	running, this route was given a 15-minute service.
++  The Pennsylvania State Highway Dept. has forced PRCo.
	to give up the Millvale carbarn, placing the
	future of routes 2 and 3 in great doubt.

       From HEADWAY RECORDER, January, 1952, page 8.

       Very Sincerely,

       Dennis M. Linsky
