McKinley Park is up near the north end of the single track; Smith, etc. is
on the southern end. There was indeed a McKinley Park stop, at the north end
of the trestle. The sidings there and at Edgebrook were added in 1954, along
with Santa Barbara on the Drake line.

gives you City of Pittsburgh topographic sheet 60, which has Smith Siding
and surrounding territory on it. The cross streets in the 2007 cover photo
are Hawridge Way to the right and Fine Way to the left. Denise street had
another name in 1947...Stage Way. At any rate, look about 2/3 of the way up
the left margin of this map and you'll find the whole thing.

Edgebrook and McKinley sidings were placed in service February 27, 1954,
Santa Barbara on April 10, 1954.
