track in wilmerding

[Derrick J Brashear]

they've been working on the Tri-Boro Expressway in Turtle
Creek/Wilmerding/Monroeville/whatever the last few weeks, so when out
driving I went through Wilmerding on the south side of Turtle Creek (the
stream, not the municipality) to avoid it. I got a look a few times at
exposed rail, in cobblestones, at the south of the Maple Avenue viaduct,
which carried 87 cars into Wilmerding. I've known it's been there for
years, and some of the trackage in the loop was still visible in the 90s,
though that area has since been repaved. On the west/southwest side of the
track coming into Wilmerding is a retaining wall, looks somewhat close to
the track.

Anyhow, I got my camera back shortly ago, so I'll try to go by and take
some pictures in case any of you are curious
