I showed the photo to both Jim Herron and Art Ellis this morning and drew a
blank both places.  But when I came home I examined an aerial photo I had
downloaded from PennPilot (APT-117-64, 7-16-39) some time ago.  It clearly
shows a minor road crossing across the cut north of Richfol Viaduct.  I'll
therefore concur with Mark and Jim.

The topography fits.  I'll ask Jim Herron tomorrow morning.  He's the
resident Canonsburg historian and 4398 restorer.

I think Mark nailed it  --  I looked at the photo again and the walkway
along the left side of the trestle is Just Visible~!~!~!     Walkways
were unusual on TrolleyCar only trestles  --  wonder  Why  in this location?

This Trestle from the Richfol end is indelibly planted in my memory  --
the family was often in Canonsburg and we always passed this location.
