PITTSBURGH's Ole #61F ON A COLD COLD DAY

Taken in aftermath of the Blizzard of 1993 by Bryant Schmude, this shows a Pittsburgh (PAT~~~>Port Authority // later Pittsburgh Regional Transit) bus operating along Fifth Avenue in Downtown as the route 61F HOMESTEAD PARK.

The 61F continued from the city ((shown here)) east along Forbes Avenue through Oakland ((passing The University of Pittsburgh and then Carnegie Mellon University)) to reach Squirrel Hill. Then the 61F headed right onto Murray Avenue and then down Brown's Hill to enter Homestead over the High Level Bridge. 61F then went on to service the Homestead Park area much as an early Debolt Bus Lines run once did.

As a stand alone run, the 61F was abandon in 2010 with parts of its service area covered by bus route #53.
