Pittsburgh Railways connected to existing car line from Charleroi to  
Allenport in 1903, reaching Pittsburgh variously through Beechview  
first, and later through West Liberty Avenue (1905).
The Valley Line (Cooley, Overbrook) did not open to inbound cars  
until July 14, 1909 and to outbound cars until November 1, 1909.

Whether or not your father rode it Phillip, you have to determine.    
Don't ask us.   We were not there.   But if he came in from Charleroi  
between 1903 and July 13, 1909, he rode through Mount Lebanon.
