What a great line this would have been to ride.  Second Avenue steel mills, the
Glenwood Bridge, private right of way through the flat section of Hays, then the narrow
prw of Mifflin Road and on through the ups and downs and curves of Lincoln Place and
Dravosburg, before gliding across the majestic Dravosburg Bridge.   I wasn't lucky
enough to get to ride this varied scenic urban/country route.

Take a look at this photo, those of you who were familiar with the line.  Tell me, is
this an outbound car, coming up the hill behind the trailer park (formerly "Calhoun
amusement park") about to meet up with route 65 Munhall at the Mifflin Road crossing?

Thanks,
Matt
