[PRCo] Re: A streetcar loops that ends at a gas station

[Fred Schneider]

Route 313 was shortened from 36th to 30th when single-end PAYE cars were installed February 19, 1913.  It remained there until February 26, 1966 when abandoned.

Route 407 ran out of McKeesport car house until it closed.    March 15, 1937 shorteneded to 10th Ward, McKeesport because of bridge repairs.   Extended to what may have been a new Pirl Street loop on March 9, 1938.   Last full day of service August 31, 1963.
