""""#1161, a former St. Louis Public Service car, on a fan trip on New 
Arlington Avenue which is the line over the top of Mt. Washington that 
still exists as a diversion when the tunnel is out of service for some 
reason. The passing siding was midway up the hill and in the vicinity of 
the Knoxville Incline Railway which has since been discontinued.

with SLPS!  --  NEVER!!!!
