Perhaps Bill Fronczek of PTM can resolve this -- Doc is writing (or 
has written) a book on the Harmony Route and the Butler Short Line.

Well -- uh -- I don't think the the Harmony route branched off of 
Millvale.  Millvale loop was off of Evergreen Road and a back alley in 
Millvale near Mt. Alvernia Nunnery.  The trackage that left the other 
Evergreen Road off of East Street was the start of the Harmony line. 
 The Transit Gloria Mundi North Side video mentions this as well.

But I will say that the PA trolley musuem's Pittsburgh Region streetcar 
routes map does show a tiny dotted line off of the Millvale loop that 
appears to go for a bit and stops.  I'm not sure what this was -- 
horsecar, perhaps?
