Bear in mind that I am normally alone on these 'road trips'. Therefore, the
first priority is driving my truck, second is taking photos moving in
traffic or stopped at red signals. Seldom, in Pittsburgh, does a parking
space make itself available. If one does appear along the side of a street
it is usually too small for the truck. So, in view of the fact that all
these photos except one were taken 'on the fly' so to speak, do not expect
excellent photos. You will see strange angles, the hood of my truck and the
wiper blades. They are, however, Pittsburgh, PA three and one-half hours
ago. Three more photos will follow in a second email.
These are:
673: Wabash Avenue, filled with standing traffic backed up from the now
torn up West End Circle (From now on WEC=West End Circle)
688: Going on bottom deck of Ft Pitt Bridge from Liberty Ave
675: WEC under the old railroad bridge. The old layout of the circle is
going to be gone soon.
676: W Carson St, east of WEC, looking across Ohio River toward the Point
677: W Carson St at Lower Stn of Duquesne Heights Incline. Ft Pitt
Bridge in right background
679: W Carson St approaching P & LE Stn (Stn Square) at Smithfield St
680: W Carson St at Smithfield St. LRT station ahead on right. Intersection
totally different from PRCo days
681: Carson St at Arlington Avenue. Bridge carries LRT cars over street and
onto PATransit trolley bridge across Mon River.
682: Going up Arlington Avenue. LRT tracks and very sturdy overhead can be
seen
683: Warrington at Saw Mill Run Blvd. Looking up at Palm Garden Bridge
684: Entrance to Liberty Tunnels from under Saw Mill Run Overpass.
685/686/687 coming in next email.
