I thought this too. However, in checking the PRM track map, double track is
shown on West St probably up to the Homestead Hospital area, then single
track all the way to the first siding which is well past 22nd Street. I have
seen photos of the Main/22nd area and I know the cars heading toward
Homestead had to operate on the wrong side of the street on 22nd. Other
passing sidings are at Main/Center, Interboro at the Pgh City Line, and
Interboro near the jct. with Rts. 56/56A.
