Ken I remember and it has been 40 + years, used to see the sign Washington Crossing on the 40th street bridge every day going home form work from  *H J Heinz* on the bridge, however, i may be wrong, but on the South Hills/ Interurban Line
isn't there a "Washington Crossing"  with tracks then going to 
Little Washington and the other set to Charleroi?  I may be wrong?
