The reproduction of the public timetable on Page 37 of "West Penn Traction" (CERA #110) shows the following progression along the route: McKeesport / Bryn Mawr Jct / Rainbow Gardens / Coulterville Road / Mahntown / McKeesport Jct / Irwin. The maps in the book for this segment of the WP are not that well detailed to tell where it runs. Maybe you could take a current map and pinpoint the listed timetable timepoints and get somewhat a view of where it ran. I can scan the maps if you like.

The recent discussions of McKeesport have put some questions in my mind and my maps and reference books are at home.  
What was the routing of West Penn from McKeesport to Irwin?  

Did it follow Lincoln Way out through White Oak?

Was Rainbow Gardens ever associated with any traction company?
