[PRCo] Re: more bits which are gone?

[Edward H. Lybarger]

There was a "Lawrence" sub that fed that part of the PRCo system, but I
don't know its exact location at the moment.  Unfortunately, I won't have
time for a couple days to dig.

I think there was one where Plummer Street and Butler Street meet.  Heading
into Downtown Pittsburgh, this would put the substation on the right hand
side of Butler on the corner of, I think it is 48th Street and Butler, just
a sidewalk away from where Plummer Street v's off of Butler.
