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
