[PRCo] WP freight

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

This may be an interesting trivia question for some.  From
>From 1928-1938 a daily WP freight starts at Connellsville
and travel thru Duquesne via Irwin and McKeesport and on
to Pgh.  All pubs say the small freight 548 was used in this
service because:
of tight clearance at a corner  --  PERC original pub
of tight clearances at corners  --  PRMA updated pub
one corner in Duquesne is tight according to the  CERA  book.
Maps don't reveal this location;  is it known?  Is it possible
someone familiar with the area could  'hazard a possibility?'
This begs the question of routing as well.  The 68 shared WP
track through Duquesne into McKeesport.  This track was
realigned at  (Date?)  to cross the Monongahela.  Before this
realignment it seems the freights entered McKeesport from
the East along 5th to Sinclair then up Jerome;  is this correct?

Trust 'all' had blessed Thanksgiving.
