Over a month ago, the Pitt Digital Library added 2000 photos from the
City Photographer collection. I didn't notice.
Among the shots is one when the P&LE built a powerhouse in 1938
showing the Castle Shannon incline station... and the elusive Duke
Beer clock when it was apparently still shilling Coke.
However, of more interest at the moment are the shots when the water
system was built. Note the manifold shots along "Boundary St", at R J
Doughtry Coal, and in the "abandoned trench"
I figure somewhere there should be a trace of the trestle which
carried the trolley line into Schenley Park before Bigelow forced it
out. So far, not finding it.
