Thanks indeed, John.

We need to get out the maps and track diagrams and check 
distances. Grateful as I am for Archie's contributions, I don't for a 
moment believe that the PS ran by way of Drake. It served 
Washington by way of Finleyville, over what became the B&O 
route. And the route into Pgh by way of Street's Run was a later 
construction, replacing the PS route which the B&O found 
unsatisfactory.

And the entry to Temperanceville was over the still-surviving West 
Side Belt line - no mystery.

That said, excellent sleuthing!

Don
