Here is an item about<br>> Crucible Steel tearing down its facility on Ridge Ave. Ridge ran about<br>> 4,600 feet from Chateau St. (just west of the West End Bridge) eastward to<br>> Merchant St., which is two blocks short of Federal St. It is parallel to<br>> and one block north of Reedsdale St., where the new light rail runs. <br>> <br>> So where was the mill? Between Lighthill St and Chartiers St., Ridge on the<br>> north and the Ohio river on the south. That put's it just east of the West<br>> End Bridge and behind the new Three Rivers Casino. And Ridge doesn't go<br>> there today. Route 65 expressway blocks it.<br>> <br>> <br>> http://images.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/i/image/image-idx?view=entry;cc=maps;<br>> entryid=x-01v01p07<br>> <br>> <br>> http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=HVMbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=1kwEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4428%<br>> 2C3388615<br>> <br>> End of shortage of freight cars by summer of 1947 . maybe?
