[PRCo] Re: Question about 69 Squirrel Hill Route

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Lybarger;

Here is a picture of 1614 on 69 at Kennywood loop before conversion to
interurban.  This is obviously the mid 1940s; I don't know how long this lasted.
I fouund tthis photo in the list archives.

Route 60 cars went to Kennywood at times.  Not sure about 69.

Subject: [PRCo] Question about 69 Squirrel Hill Route

A few weeks back, there was a photo being offered on eBay of 58 Greenfield
on Loretta Street between Murray and Greenfield Avenue, with a date of June
1958.   The abandonment dates of routes 68 and 69 were in Sept. 1958.  I
noted in this photo, that the wiring that would've taken route 69 on its
loop from Greenfield Avenue back to Murray Avenue, had been removed.     If
the date of the photo was accurate, I wondered if in the latter years of
service, route 69 cars travelled further, perhaps to Munhall Loop or to
Kennywood Park.
