I found seven photos of this line when I was prowling Allegheny County
photos some time ago.  Not this one, of course, and it's great because of
the texture of the gas station. They're all too large to email at this point
- 15-16 MB each - so let me see if I can dumb the best ones down for
posting.

I have only ever seen a photograph of a streetcar with a VERONA destination
sign, and also, a photograph of the trestle that once crossed over Coal
Hollow Road at Verona Road, but no other pictures that documented trackage
somewhere on the line.    Taken in 1936, I imagine the cars were still
running over this trackage since the line wasn't abandoned until the
following year - I think cutback to Laketon Road.   The photo is from the
Historic Pittsburgh site, and here is the description:
Title: Atlantic White Flash
Date: October 6, 1936
Creator: Pittsburgh City Photographer
Description: An Auto Shop and Barber Shop at the intersection of Verona Road
and Frankstown Avenue. Looking west from Verona Road.
