thanks Ed, that helped alot.  Someday someone who is proficient with software needs to overlay the old routes onto Google earth.  if every street and landmark in america can be on it, someone can do that.

If you go to Google Maps and look between North Charleroi and Route 837 in
the Hybrid mode, you will see an east-west street called Wilson Road.  Just
north of its intersection with Route 88 is the hollow that Bridge No. 1
crossed.  Now look for Riverview Drive heading east off 88.  Where it
intersects the power line right of way in the head of the hollow crossed by
Bridge No. 2.  Then go on up past the next two clearings crossing the power
line.  There is another hollow indicated by a distinct color shift where it
crosses the power line.  This is the one Bridge No. 3 crossed.  If you go up
to the Eldora area, you can see the trolley right of way south of what looks
like a circle south of 837.  It went under that highway and then parallelled
W. Monessen Street down the other side.

You can check me by measuring...between Bridges 1 nad 2 there was
approximately 966 feet; between 2 and 3 there was about 2091 feet.

 Speaking of maps, are there any detailed maps around of the PRCo
interurban lines? Would be nice to have in case I ever wanted to
explore on my own. I get confused when it comes to the
Houston/Canonsburg area on the Washington line. I would be willing to
pay for such map(s).
