Somewhere in the PTM Library we have a profile map of the entire Pittsburgh
& Charleroi.

Greetings!

	Roy G. Genedict drew out the Library and Drake interurban lines showing
each stop and some of the elevations along the way - 1963.  My copy is
not clear.

	DRAKE				LIBRARY

			South Hills Jct - 880' above sea level
			Castle Shannon - 1050'
	Washington Jct - 1100'		Washington Jct - 1100'
					1/2-way to Mine #3 - 1150'
	Santa Barbara - 1190'		Hillcrest - 1230'
	Hulz - Beth Vill 1150'		Mesta - 1200'
	Bethel Church - 1100'		Latimer - 1100'
	Brookside Switch 1050'		Logan - 1050'
	Walther-Drake Wye 1000'		Library Acres-Leonard 1000'
					Simmons - 950'

	The rise from Wash.Jct to Mine #3 is quite steep - way too much for a
RR!
