[PRCo] Destination numbers

[Fred Schneider]

Note that 35 and 36 were not used in 1914.

Note also that Sourth Highland was not 73 but rather 78.   Numbers  
73, 74 and 75 were not used in 1914.   And since 75 was not used, not  
that Wilkinsburg via 5th was 77.   Pittsburgh and Forward was 80 and  
that number was also used as East Pittsburgh via Braddock and Rankin  
(it went over the bridge to Talbot St.), then through Homestead and  
then Browns Hill and Murray Avenue and in through Oakland.    And 97  
was Highland Park via Butler and it was also a short turn from  
McKeesport to Duquesne.

None of the shuttles other than 81 were numbered so that 17, 9, 59,  
61, 63, 98, 99 later had to use numbers pirated from somewhere else.

The routes that didn't run into Pittsburgh and were unaffected by  
Pittsburgh City pestering the railways were also unaffected.   So  
Wilkinsburg-Oakmont-Verona borrowed 78 later from South Highland.  
McKeesport got numbers later.   Washington and Donora never needed  
numbers because they never came into Pittsburgh.   Trafford didn't  
come into Pittsburgh so it didn't need a number.   But they gave the  
West Penn cars number 93 but the cars had no place to put the number!
