  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.
