[PRCo] Car 100 on route 38. Also rt. 42

[Schneider Fred]

There was a posting by Philip a few weeks ago about 100 running as a  
night car on route 38.   Route cards confirm one PCC running evenings  
Jan. 12, 1937.

They also note PCC cars assigned to base service February 4, 1937.

Sounds like 100 was given to Tunnel and the 1000s followed  
immediately afterwards.

Route 42 Dormont shows a single PCC also running nights on January  
12, 1937 and then it also shows a single PCC running nights on March  
15, 1937.   Go figure.   Base service with PCCs on route 42 doesn't  
appear in the route cards until 1940.

By the way, the original Dormont service from December 1, 1904 was  
Castle Shannon to Pittsburgh via Mt. Lebanon, West Liberty Junction  
via Beechview and the tunnel.   On May 1, 1907 the cars were cut back  
from Castle Shannon to Mount Lebanon.   When was route 42 cut back to  
Beechview Junction (what we later called Dormont Junction)?   Well,  
there was a program to rebuild tracks on West Liberty Avenue in  
1915.   On Mary 3, 1915 all route 42 cars were cut back to Beechview  
Junction and exchanged transfers with 38 cars.   After the track was  
rebuilt, they just never were restored for that last half mile down  
to Clearview loop
