The Homestead mill photo was taken on 9/21/75.
I think I've posted the attached photos before, but for newcomers to the 
list:

- Grand Trunk Western 2-8-2 4070 on the P&LE opposite the USS Clairton Coke 
Works, 9/20/75.

- Chessie Steam Special (Reading 4-8-4 2101) on the B&O along E. Ohio St., 
6/6/77.  Taken from the 40th St. Bridge looking toward downtown.

- GTW 4070 leaving the P&LE station on 9/20/75.  PCC 1704 (Burger King car) 
on the Smithfield St. Bridge

All from the good old days in the 70's and 80's when steam trains visited 
Pittsburgh once or twice a year.
