Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation has a Pittsburgh bridges
coffee table book out with some good pictures of it, incidentally

(I think the book is by Walter Kidney)

There's also a picture of a "streetcar trestle" crossing Panther Hollow,
near and at a lower level than one of the old Schenley Park bridges that
have recently been redone; I think it was the one from Schenley Plaza
(near the library) into the Park. At some point I'll pick up the book.
