[PRCo] Re: rails still in Penn Av

[Matt Barry]

I think the rail is in up to East Liberty where the former mall begins, 
then after that inbound to town -- I KNOW it is still under the asphalt. 
    I lived in Lawrenceville most of my life and recall that Penn was 
only paved over, no rail removal at all.

ALSO -- in Munhall, the single track with sidings pop up now and again 
at various places along Main Street from Homestead hospital on West 
Street all the way up Main to the Mifflin Road Interboro Ave junction.   
 Right now, there is visible track near the curb at "Cemetery siding" on 
Main Street, at (duh) the Cemetery.
