<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> <BR> <BR>Probably looking at Munhall Coal Railroad from circa 1900 Hopkins map at Pittsburgh digital history.<BR> <BR> <BR><br> <BR><div>> From: rlattner@pa.gov<br>> To: pittsburgh-railways@mailman.dementix.org<br>> Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 09:52:16 -0400<br>> Subject: [PRCo] PRCo Route 59<br>> <br>> Hello. I was looking at an older historic topo map and noticed that route 59<br>> traveled up Ravine Street and then split at the intersection of Greensprings Ave., Coal Rd and Black Path (road names based on Google Maps).<br>> <br>> One line continued up Greensprings Ave. to what is called Terrace and ends at what I believe is High Street and Bowes Ave. The other line<br>> on PRW seems to follow Duquesne Ave then Homestead Duquesne Rd to Coal Rd. to terminate at Coal Rd. Extension and Bellwood Rd.<br>> <br>> I have attached that section of the map. My first question is, is this correct? If so, how did these lines operate and what destinations signs<br>> were used? When did PRCo stop using the line to Bellwood Rd.? Maybe I have this wrong and it could be a coal mine RR?<br>> <br>> If this was discussed before I apologize.<br>> <br>> Oh, map web site in case some of you do not have it. http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/topomaps/f?p=262:1:4149522851964442<br>> <br>> Thanks.<br>> <br>> <br>> Raymond E.
