[PRCo] Butler and 62nd

[Dwight Long]

Rt 94 ran through Sharpsburg and for some reason cars sometimes reflected that as destination on their roller sign.  There was a wye there but used only, AFAIK, for emergencies, not for regular turnbacks.  The line ran on to Aspinswall where the loop was located. This loop was shared until 1937 with cars of the Allegheny Valley Street Railway (West Penn) which ended their southbound runs and turned back north there.

  Between this and the previous map showing Plummer we are missing 
  52nd-55th+ but otherwise get a decent feel for the layout.  In the 1950s 
  the 95-BUTLER was a short-turn of the 94 at 62nd making a left turn into 
  the loop with a Grand (for PRCo!) Waiting Shelter.  The 96-line came 
  straight down Butler from the east to make a right turn onto its own 
  loop behind the shelter used by the 95!  The 96 returned to East Liberty 
  with some interesting running on 2-different streets before sharing the 
  line with the 71-Negley to Penn where it made a left into the heart of 
  East Liberty.  The 94-SHARPSBURG used the bridge to cross the Allegheny 
  to its destination in Sharpsburg.
