looked at a 1918 and a 1930 map of Kennywood Park trackage. In 1918, the<BR>loop
was set for cars to come from and to the city, not McKeesport. There<BR>were
crossovers in front of the park so my guess is that regular 68 cars<BR>were
augmented by a few double-enders for the short ride between<BR>McKeesport and
the park. By 1930, it would appear that cars from<BR>McKeesport could turn into
the four-track yard opposite the park by using<BR>a track connection at Hoffmann
Blvd (today's name for the road) that was<BR>just past the bridge next to the
park. Double-endered cars could still<BR>turn short in the yard by changing
poles. There was never any loop<BR>trackage for cars running from McKeesport.
Not sure what they did between<BR>1953 and 1958 when there were no Jones cars
but by then, many more people<BR>probably came to the park by automobile and it
didn't matter any more.<BR><BR>George Gula<BR><BR>On 5/8/14 9:49 PM, "Dwight
