Dormont continued the School Picnic and PRCo Charters after cessation of 
68 TrolleyCar but beeses were used  --  don't know how long this 
lasted.     Obviously not used by Transit like days of old when the 
multiple track loop was quite active.     It was 1956 or 1957 when I 
rode the TrolleyCar myself to Kennywood and these cars used the loop but 
never saw the loop used otherwise.
