Re: Keating I pass the Keating site daily on my way to and from the office.I was aware of the renovation work to the front of the facility using aluminum construction, but don't recall the main carhouse itself being razed and reconstructed. I could be wrong, but that huge dark brick multiple bay structure appears to be one and the same that housed the 10-Westview cars prior to the advent of the bus takeover.

The Lancaster, Ephrata and Lebanon had two car barns. Both still exist. The one in Lebanon has the rails still exposed in the concrete floor. Likewise Conestoga's Millersville carbarn still exists. In Harrisburg, Capital Area Transit uses the former Harrisburg Railways carbarn. Still had some rails and pits about 15 years ago. Likewise Valley Railways barn in Lemoyne still stands but rail covered over. Old carbarns in Reading, Altoona, Johnstown and Allentown are used as current transit authority bus garages. (but haven't checked recently. any updates?) Pittsburgh industrial archeology question: How much is left of Rankin, Ingram and Keating car barns?? And Manchester?? (was it plowed under and new bus garage built, or was old car house reused??) What about Taggert St.?? Herron Hill??
