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.[1] 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).[2] When the West Liberty Avenue lines were abandoned all services used Broadway, being renumbered 42/38 Mt. Lebanon Beechview and eventually becoming the 42 South Hills Village, the current Red Line.
