I note that the JPGs stored at Dementia are slightly lower in quality than 
those that I originally posted. No matter - they weren't all that great to 
begin with, these are readable if you know what you are looking for, and the 
aggregate file size for all 15 pages is 3.05 MB, down from 3.87.

The maps can be accessed at (for example):

http://lists.dementia.org/files/pittsburgh-railways/map, Washington to Bethel 
01.jpg

or another number from 01 to 15.

01 through 14 cover the distance from Washington to Drake loop and beyond - 15 
adds only a couple of additional inches of coverage.

On page 01 you can also see the PRCo extension from Chestnut Street (at the 
west end of the East-West local streetcar line) to the B&O branch.
