Various answers, corrections &c. ATTN: Jim Holland & John Swindler

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Within the past year I have copied a photo of a train tearing up the
Pittsburgh Southern Railroad.  It is owned by a gentleman whose house is in
the photo.  The location is just outbound of Brookside stop.  It went out
the Drake route!

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!
