A few days ago I stumbled onto an online copy of a Rand-McNally map from 1924. It showed a couple electric lines I had never heard of nor even suspected. (See map snippet which Ecartis will have tucked away somewhere in the bowels of Derrick's machine.) 
I thought maybe I should look in the list archives before I asked about them and son of a gun, back there in April of 1999 when this list was only a couple months old Jim Holland said:

"The West Side Electric Street Railway Co. used to run from Charleroi westbound to Ellsworth.  The same company used to run east of Charleroi across the Monongahela to Monessen and south to Arnold."

Guess that answers that.
