Eldora

[EDWARD H. LYBARGER]

Monessen Jct. was where Route 88 and the Monessen Bridge met, and the
Westside (actually the other company with the long name that I'd have to go
in the back to get in its entirety!) tracks went across the river.  Lockview
was just north of this spot, where the side-of-road r/w diverged from the
highway (Rt. 88 turns left here, going north).  If anyone is familiar with
the photo of the PRCo spray car we published a couple decades back, take
note that the photograph was taken at or very near Lockview!
