<div dir="ltr">Most of that land along the west side of Library Road ( somewhat south of the Ford dealer) is owned by the Borough of Castle Shannon today. This includes the Port Authority Park & Ride Lot at Willow Avenue. That lot is on Borough Property and is operated by the C.S. Fire Dept. Could the park & ride be the old "company housing" area?<br>

The mine at Washington Junction was P.T. Coal Co. Mine No. 3 (not 7); the<br>
patch was/is known as Mollenauer.<br>

This link leads to an abandoned mining patch story in the Pittsburgh Press<br>
</div>("50 Heath Law Violations..") in the postwar period at Castle Shannon.<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company sounds like a subsidiary of<br>
Wabash-Pittsburgh Terminal Railroad, i.e. the Pittsburgh and West Virginia.<br>
The earlier maps show they did own Mine 7 down at Washington Junction.<br>
However, I have no clue that it was in Castle Shannon borough in 1947 . it<br>
was not 40 years earlier.<br>
