I haven't read anything in this thread about Try Street Yard.

According to PRR's "Industrial Map of the Pittsburgh Region" dated August 1924, 
this was the name given to the freight yard east of the Panhandle tracks and 
south of Forbes.

On the topographic map dated 1926 (or 1928, I'm not sure which) Try St. itself 
existed immediately east of the line in two short blocks just north and south 
of Second Avenues. In other words, the junction to the yard was at Try Street.

I'm sending Robert a couple of scans taken from these two maps, and will do so 
for anybody else sufficiently interested.
