Any details?

My wife used to live on Walnut about 2 blocks north of the Boston Bridge;
Her grandparents remembered the car line but could offer no details; An
Allegheny County road bridge over Long Run stands just south/west of the
current Walnut Street but was as near as I could tell not on the alignment
of the West Penn line there (which also diverged from the current Walnut
St to the south/west)
