[Edward H. Lybarger]

"Twin Oaks" is not on any official stop list that I have seen.

The photos attached are from an article titled "Construction of The
Charleroi Interurban" from Electric Railroads, July 1952.  Caption under the
photo of the bridge is "#1714 near Twin Oaks Sta.  Charleroi in the
background."  The "PRCo map" is from the same page in the magazine showing
the full route of the line from Roscoe to Pittsburgh.  The photo labeled
"Bridge-1" is from the same issue captioned "Photo shows car crossing high
bridge number one north of Charleroi."  This looks like the same bridge a
few years earlier (pre PCC cars).  In this photo, you can make out the
Charleroi-Monessen bridge in the background.  For more photos of the
Charleroi-Monessen bridge see:

I meant to say the stop between bridges 2 & 1. I believe this picture was in
the Electric Railroads interurban article.

I see this mentioned in the caption for a pix of a PCC car crossing bridge 3
toward Charleroi. I don't see it on the maps that I have. Could it be the
name of the stop that was between bridges 3 & 2 ?
