I've read this, too.  Try Street existed from Pennsylvania Canal days, I
believe.

The history of George Westinghouse's air brake mentions an early test run
... wagon or team moved in front of the train and the engineman was able to
stop because of the air.  It was supposedly at the south (west) end of the
Pittsburgh tunnel.  Could that have meant that Try Street did exist in the
1880s?   Was that where it happened or is the who episode only an urban
legend?
