[PRCo] Monongahela to Bentleyville

[Paul Steven]

The Media Curator of the Archives Service Center, School of Information 
Science, University of Pittsburgh was kind enough to send me a link to their 
electronic copy of Lewis' Guide (1923) after I suggested a correction to one 
of their captions.

>From this I extracted the Electric Railways map (which I know you have 
already, I think I have seen it on this list) and from which I have extracted 
the area of Monongahela / Bentleyville. I'm assuming this was an electric line 
which was closed before 1952 as it isn't mentioned in the ERA publication on 
the Pittsburgh Interurban routes, but unlike the Harmony Line I can't find any 
online information about this route. Does anyone have a history of this line 
and / or a reference to its operation?

This site http://monongahela.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/easy-bicycle-route-from-
monongahela-to-bentleyville-pa/ has details of a bike ride along the valley, 
but doesn't mention a trolley route.

Thanks
