History

The original Dawn stop was established at the south end of the Palm Garden trestle where Dawn Avenue crossed the Pittsburgh Railways trolley right of way.[2] In the 1950s the stop was served by the 38 Mt. Lebanon, 39 Brookline, 42 Dormont, and 43 Neeld services. Just south of the stop was a junction where the line continued on to West Liberty Avenue (service 38 and 39) with the branch to the west proceeding to Broadway (service 42 and 43).[3] When the 38 Mt Lebanon line along West Liberty Avenue was abandoned on May 25, 1963, it was combined with the 42 Dormont and renumbered as 42/38 Mt. Lebanon/Beechview. However, the 42 Dormont continued as a separare service but for rush hour use only. All lines, except the 39 Brookline, eventually became the 42 South Hills Village, the current Red Line. The 39 Brookline was abandoned on Sep 3, 1966.

gollark: And Rust, I think, but *they* dropped it to be more low-level.
gollark: Only difference between goroutines and threads is that goroutines are somewhat more lightweight and trendy.
gollark: They're both methods for running functions concurrently.
gollark: Not really.
