[PRCo] Derails

[James B. Holland]

The 21--FINEVIEW had 5-Derails, ALL trailing::

3--Derails on Henderson,
1--Derail on Carrie,
1--Derail on Lanark.



The 5--SPRING__HILL had 1-Derail on Itin,
both Leading and Trailing as it was on
Single Track. Interesting to note that
a branch along Concord toward / to
North Avenue existed at one time and
apparently connected in vicinity of Derail
on Itin!


AND a careful study of the mup indicates
that the 5-line once ran along Progress and
Lacock between 16th and 9th north of the
River on the Near North Side.



The 9--Charles__Transfer had 1-derail south / west
near the X-Over at Perrysville.



The 34--ELLIOTT apparently had 2-derails, both
near the traffic circle at Steuben, both
Inbound and Outbound, Leading and Trailing.



South Hills Junction, 2-Derails, both Inbound and
Both Leading into Tunnel.



The 40-Mt.WASHINGTON had a Leading Derail
outbound on Shiloh.



The 48--ARLINGTON had 2-trailing derails on
Arlington just outbound of Warrington.



The 49--BELTZHOOVER had 2-, possibly
3-derails along Arlington, ALL of them
both Leading and Trailing on single track.



The 53--CARRICK and thus 77/54 had one
inbound derail on 18th.



The 58--GREENFIELD had 3-Derails,
2-Leading and one trailing. Inbound
on Greenfield at Graphic leading into
single track and also inbound on Greenfield
just before the thru wye at Irvine and also
a trailer here outbound.



The 85--BEDFORD had 2-trailing derails, one on
Fullerton and one on Bedford after turning off
Fullerton.



The 96--E-LIBERTY__62ND-St had one Leading
Derail on Baker toward 62nd.



Library Street between Braddock and Bell --
4-Derails, 2-either direction, thus
2-Leading and 2-Trailing.



Is that a One Time Total of 28-Derails on PRCo???????

Waiting for a bus is as thrilling as fishing,
with the similar tantalisation that something,
sometime, somehow, will turn up.
