Hi,

The map I used to create the wikipedia map comes from the Zelienople 
Historical Society article "All aboard the Harmony Line" - 
http://www.fyi.net/~zhs/HarmonyLine/welcome.htm and is the same image that 
you attach. I did the Pittsburgh Railways Interurban map on wikipedia as 
well, this time from a map found at 
http://eldorapark.com/trolley/era-forward.htm which is a copy of a map used 
in "Electric Railroads, Number 20, Lackawanna Terminal, Hoboken, New Jersey: 
Electric Railroaders Association, Inc. July 1952. Please let me know if I 
have any of the details wrong as I live 4000 miles away from Pittsburgh I 
can't pop down to the local library to check :)
