We got lucky.  The map seems to have enough detail to get the general idea.
Also, I found a paper copy of the map book (the page size is 24 x 36 inches)
that I could easily take to a copy machine.  Most importantly, the
information was near an accessible edge!

Ed, thanks for looking into this. I am going to guess that maybe PRCo was
accepting slag from the coal company to use as track ballast. My guess is
that a conveyor crosses 88 from the mine to the slag bin. 

What is the small scale (large detail) PRCo map book from 1925?  By any
chance, does this book show the track arrangement at Kennywood?
