I forgot to mention the section of double track in Wilmerding, right where 
the right of way went off the long overpass above WABCo plant. It looks like 
the last trolley went off yesterday.

As Boris said, Chestnut Street (the brick-paved section).  Enter 864
Chestnut St, Pittsburgh, PA into Google Maps and click "Street View".

Another one: enter 1400 S Braddock Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, click "Street
View", and follow "Nine Mile Run" (which used to be Braddock Ave).

For most of Pittsburgh, though, the only time you see tracks is when
they tear up the street for repaving.
