Here's a couple of photos showing the concrete PRW:
1. The yellow 1700 is outbound just past the Wenzell
Ave bridge.  This photo was taken in September 1978.

2. 1721 outbound on the 42 PRW and signed 35 Shannon
Library.  I saw a couple of 35-36-37 cars go out the
42 that day. A diversion by Clearview Loop and Castle
Shannon? This was a weekday so I doubt it was a
fantrip. This photo was taken in August 1979.
