This was the 76 "loop"/layover spot. Maybe if I get a minute I will go
take a couple "now" photos.

It's effectively between Coal and Swissvale at the east end of
Wilkinsburg.

  Sorry for the delay in response. I had a family emergency and forgot to have you temorarily remove my e-mail from the list.                                                                       I seem to recall that rt. 87 was cut back in it's final days of service. Was Jane St. the cutback point, hence this photo on Dave's site? Thanks Derrick! And thanks everyone in advance as I am now going through all my e-mails from the past 5 days.                                                                                     Mark Mc
