[PRCo] McKeesport/Connellsville trolley models

[Bob Rathke]

The list recently discussed PRC trolley wire fences over the trolley crossings of B&O RR tracks in McKeesport.  The Western Pa. Model RR Museum in Gisonia has an updated page that includes some photos of its HO model of downtown McKeesport.  The text mentions the trolley/railroad crossings.  See:  www.wpmrm.org/mckeesport.htm
The museum's layout is 40'X100', and models the B&O line from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, MD.  When you see the layout map, click on "Pittsburgh" to see their model of the Smithfield St. Bridge (with PCC's operating over it), the Monongahela Incline and the P&LE and old B&O Stations.

The Connellsvile section of the layout is still under construction, but they've already got the trolley tracks installed, and a couple of West Penn Rys. trolleys are on the layout.  Click on the "Connellsville" link on the layout map to see a photo of Connellsville being built.
