[PRCo] Re: Crossovers

[Jim Holland]

HI!

	These are the only X-Overs I know of that remained for sure well into
the 1950s and through the end of the PRCo era.

3-ea	10-15-lines, near West View
1-ea	Overbrook--Frederick Street
1-ea	Castle Shannon, Main line for interurban to use Dinky
		track of 38A to Mt.-Lebanon
1-ea	Library--Mesta
1-ea	38-line between McFarland and Biltmore
1-ea	56-line at Muldowney for 65 line usage.

	Never saw the ones at West View used except by railfans on charters!

NO  X-Overs downtown Pittsburgh
NO  X-Overs near North Side.
NO  X-Overs East Liberty!

	Since the West End remained until June of 1959, I am not sure of the
status of these 2-crossovers in that time period.  The one on Bell is
shown as a dotted line on the map, meaning still in place but unusable
or recently removed.  And the one for the 32-line was probably removed
or made inoperable to reduce the tax rolls.

	27-28-lines, Bell and Woodkirk unused or recently removed.> 
	32-W.-Carson and Smithfield, Also::

	Not sure of this one on the 56-line.  I remember the prw as somewhat
rough (which I Definitely Like!) but that doesn't mean that the X-Over
was still there!!

	56-line Mifflin near Riverton, remained to the end.
