Yes, PRMA (now PTM) published one around 1960 that showed all trackage.  It 
was abt 11x17.  And, based on some material received from John Baxter, the 
ERA may have produced one in late 1940s. But the PMRA edition was more 
detailed and closer to scale.

Because trackage changed over the years, the PTM archives probably has 
several different official PRC map editions.  Also, for the early years, the 
Allegheny County Court House has plat maps that show property detail down to 
trackage and switches.  I'm hoping they are still there when I retire!

Yes, it is fascinating browsing through some of these early maps to see 
"what was".
