Mark:  Two different companies tried to serve Highland Park.  One used St. 
Clair and Euclid; the other Highland - and may/probably also owned Negley.  
But this was real early (based on recollection of articles from Street 
Railway Journal read some 20 years ago - so correction welcome)

Jim:  As for possibly route 62 - dunno, but for some reason, it just seems 
to have a 'East Liberty look' about it.  That's why I suspected Larimar 
loop.  What did it look like, and when did it disappear????  Are there any 
R. Hill pics????  Can't think of anything flat with that type of housing and 
single track.

John (who needs to go digging for some old photo albums to refresh a very 
rusty memory)
