The 40-line had a passing siding at its  loop  from single track and the 
loop for the 47, 53, 77/54 had a passing siding as well.
..
The 55A, 60, and 65 shared a double track loop on 8th in Munhall.
..
Was the 75 terminal on Hay a passing siding?       There were 2 tracks here.
..
Also 2 tracks on Jane for 76.
..
The 88 loop was A Complete Circle and a TrolleyCar could continually do 
360s All Day.       It allowed anything from any direction to turn and 
return from the direction it came!
..
The 95 and 96 lines had separate overlapping loops on Butler Street!!!
..

Anyone remember or have a picture please let me know.  I do appreciate it?
