[PRCo] Re: Warrington - Saw Mill Run

[Barry, Matthew R]

I didn't go to that website right away; not a lot of time.   But just did now.   Nice website.   The creator of the site devotes a lot of time to the Brookline streetcars, but at the same time sounds pretty happy that they're no longer on Brookline Blvd., particularly in the area where the single track and loop used to be.

Mr.Barry;


Many here have probably already checked the associated links haven't they.
http://www.spdconline.org/history/Gallery/Tunnels.html
The one above gives many more links to interesting photos of the area.

The tracks into the turn onto Saw Mill Run  'may'  already be paved
over with asphalt but it seems the outline of the tracks is quite visible
so they may not be paved.

Many of these photos seem to be those of the UOP don't they.

Here's a larger listing of associated photos:
