[PRCo] Re: WP in McKeesport

[Edward H. Lybarger]

The McKeesport-Irwin line followed Lincoln Way for about 1-1/2 miles east of
the county line, then went south of today's development south of Circleville
and straight (relatively speaking) to Hahntown.  There was a large trestle
between Clay Pike and Hahntown.  Unfortunately there are no photos east of
where the line crossed Lincoln Way near Stewartsville Road.

To the best of my knowledge, there was no traction interest in Rainbow
Gardens.

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?
