[PRCo] Re: Woodruff Street to Mt. Washington Car Line

[Edward H. Lybarger]

The PTM Library has Xerox copies of a series of Allegheny County photos
showing the Woodruff Street trackage after abandonment.  They would be
similar to the one Matt found in the PCP collection.  I don't think Woodruff
Street was receiving much attention in this era.

i feel like i've seen the City Photog shot previously to the Pitt Archives,
perhaps Ed Lybarger has it in his collection.
