[PRCo] Point Bridge

[Bob Rathke]

For a photo that I took on February 5, 1966, see
www.rr-fallenflags.org/bo/bo-ptrain-cbr.jpg

It was taken from the Smithfield St. Bridge looking west.  The Point Bridge
is visible behind the new Ft. Pitt Bridge, 6-1/2 years after West End
trolleys were bussed

The photo shows the B&O westbound Shenandoah leaving Pittsburgh for Chicago.
