Braddock/Rankin (Volume 8, plate 7) and got a surprise.<br>
<br>
There are two rather large plots running more or less parallel to the<br>
Monogahela, lying between the B&O and PRR, marked North Shore Railroad<br>
Company. Prowling about with Google turned up a court case (in<br>
Lawrence County) involving the North Shore's receivership, and a<br>
Pittsburgh ordinance regarding the Monongahela North Shore Railroad's<br>
rights to run along Second Avenue (more or less) to connect to "the<br>
railroad tracks now on Try Street".<br>
<br>
All this has me baffled. The only North Shore Railroad I had known of<br>
is the one over by Williamsport. The one referenced above seems to<br>
have come into being around 1885. The Hopkins plats are from 1915.<br>
That there was court action in Lawrence County suggests that the North<br>
Shore RR was rather more grand than "Braddock to Try Street", but<br>
perhaps the Monogahela North Shore and the North Shore were two<br>
different entities.<br>
<br>
Perhaps Monogahela NS RR was a street car line, the NS RR a steam<br>
railroad? Or the other way 'round?<br>
<br>
Has anyone here heard of either of those companies? If so, what have you heard?<br>
