[PRCo] Re: PRCo Routes 1940s

[Edward H. Lybarger]

I'll have to check the closure date for the through service from New
Kensington, etc.  PRCo didn't begin to use the destination numbers (like
"93") until 1914, and I think the Valley Route strike, and the attendant
refusal of Division 85 to operate their cars into the city, occurred before
that.  So "93" may be a railfan-contrived number, but I'm not certain.

...and I think the 89 was used for the "Frankstown Short."   The 59 --
wasn't that for the Homeville route?    And in earlier times, the 93, wasn't
that somehow linked to West Penn Railways' Valley route to New Kensington?
