What year?

WASHINGTON
CANONSBURG
PITTSBURGH
CHARLEROI
RIVERVIEW
CASTLE SHANNON
LIBRARY

After about 1952 two other signs were added for off peak service to distinguish local service in the non-rush hour periods 

SHANNON-WASHINGTON
SHANNON-CHARLEROI

In 1953 you can add

SHANNON-LIBRARY
SHANNON-DRAKE

The Pittsburgh signs were seldom used.   That would be like taking an 8-PERRYSVILLE sign and changing it to PITTSBURGH.  Everybody was supposed to know an inbound car was going there.   In the early years there were cutback like extra service between Washington and Canonsburg but that didn't happen in the PCC era.
