[PRCo] Re: an unknown Pittsburgh coal haulage trolley line?

[John Swindler]

At the terminal of the rt. 33 trolley (how's that for bringing topic back to 
list theme (:>)) it shows the Pgh & CS incline #2 (back incline along 
Haberman St.) crossing Bailey and stub ending next to the Castle Shannon 
incline on north side of Mt. Washington.  Lines up with what was probably an 
adjacent freight incline?????????

Was this a replacement of the coal tunnel.
