Maybe it was re-routed because this big search for the criminal?  
Hard to tell about the paint in this b & w photo.

The curious thing about this item, Barry,

http://lists.dementix.org/files/pittsburgh-railways/PghPress_10_20_51.JPG

is that the route cards showed route 12 making a Sandusky, Lacock, Anderson, 9th St. Bridge, 9th St., Penn Avenue., Sandusky St., North Avenue loop in 1928 and the same in 1936-1937.   Then the transit guides in the early 1940s showed the route truncated on the North Side (like 21, it no longer went downtown).   

Now does anyone have schedules that show when service to downtown was restored?

By the way, there is another curious thing....   4366 was probably the last double-end yellow car to every have been fully repainted.  I remember seeing a color slide taken by John Seibert at Keating about 1950-1951 of that car in absolutely pristine paint.
