One of you provided the link to this part of the Historic Pittsburgh 
site some weeks back, and I must say, I have been enjoying occasionally 
going into it and clicking on and expanding certain areas of the city, 
as it was decades back.    For instance, I always wondered where in 
Morningside, the Pittsbugh Railways private right of way inbound 
trackage was.  With these maps I was able to discover that it was near 
Standish Street, leading from Chislett to Jancey.    
And I was able to see how the 56 and 55 routes landed off the Glenwood 
Bridge into the Hays section.  How Carson used to meet up with Baldwin 
Road, etc.

Interesting and historic, for sure.
