[Dietrich, Robert J.]

Yes the Junction was interlocked in 1939 I believe.  I was going to send
you all a link to an article but Comcast has decided to give someone
else my user id and wiped out my web pages in the process.  I suppose
the Junction is closed for awhile.

Speaking of - December will mark 100 years of South Hills Junction and
the Trolley Tunnel.  Is PTM planning anything special to celebrate?

Hi, Harold,

I think there was an interlocking, but our Pittsburgh natives can say
more.

Fineview? Did you mean that derail on left-hand rail on Carrie street?
