Greetings!
Sorry for the number of messages but the computer, actually Netscape,
crashed a couple times with messages in progress for a couple hours so I am
sending more frequent posts!
Brookline Blvd 1928

Brookline Cannon and streetcar in 1942

While the outer part of the 39 line was center of the highway prw, these
photos seem to indicate that much of Brookline Blvd was prw for PRCo.
I had mentioned in another post that topo maps of Beechview seemed to
indicate that the track was similar here; the same maps showed West Liberty as
being completely paved. With these photos as help, I now believe that Broadway
in Beechview was originally prw!
