Anyone want to venture an opinion why a low 4300 would be running on Dormont?    The only suggestion I might have is that there might have been 42/38 trips that terminated in Castle Shannon and then became shuttles.

The building over the center door is on the northwest side of Washington Road.   This I have confirmed from Bing Maps.   All of these buildings exist today (or at the time the aerial photographs were made).
