Mr.Lybarger;


Yes;  you did so write for this picture:
http://lists.dementia.org/files/pittsburgh-railways/bridge_restriction.jpg

Our focus for the most recent discussion is this photo:
http://tinyurl.com/NarrowBridge

When Mr.Swartz found the latter URL matched the Penn Pilot layout
I then recalled the first photo and deduced these two photos 'possibly'
taken at the same time.

How would you reroute the Wylie and Fifth Ave trolleys when 5 is
completely blocked between Grant and Smithfield?
