[PRCo] Re: Those West end car house images Derrick mentioned.

I think there is some confusion here between the Westside Electric Street
Railway Company, headquartered in Charleroi, and the West End Traction
Company, an underlier of Southern Traction Company, which changed its name
to Pittsburgh Railways Company.

Westside in Charleroi was never owned by PRCo.

Thanks, but if I understood BOTH you and Russ correctly, the images in this
library are of Pittsburgh Railways underliers, NOT Westside Street Railway
or its associated companies.  Am I missing something?

Sadly, I was correct in my original interpretation.

  Not much contrivance involved in going to
  http://digital.library.pitt.edu/images/pittsburgh/ and looking... and
  if you want a better res copy than what you can get there, you can
  order hi res digitals from Pitt.
