[PRCo] Pittsburgh - Harmony

[Matt Barry]

Hello all,

I believe the PA Trolley Museum once held a fantrip on a motor bus to 
"trace" the Harmony streetcar line.  I unfortunately, missed out on this.

To those of you familiar enough with this great interurban line - 
whether through personal experience, or stories handed down through time 
- do you know if the line ran up what eventually became McKnight Road? 
 I realize that once the tracks left Evergreen Road off of East Street, 
the line ran on private right of way - probably until it reached it's 
ultimate desitination.  But I always figured that McKnight was such a 
wide business district highway because it once was occupied by trolleys 
on their own right of way.       I'm probably way off here & someone 
will say that the tracks left Evergreen and ventured up into the hills 
surrounding McKnight, but it would be interesting to know.

Also, I take special note of the name of  a small shopping center on the 
right side of McKnight - outbound - shortly befor McKnight crosses over 
Babcock Blvd.  It is called "????? Junction" shopping center.   (Can't 
think of the full name - or maybe it is simply, "Junction.")   There are 
no railroads - former or current in the area, and the only other reason 
I could think it would get a "junction" name was because of the Harmony 
route.

Thanks much,
Matt
