Harmony Route used PRC Rt. 12 for city access.

The Butler Short Line used Rt. 2 for city access.

For pictures of the high trestles, lots of maps, and more, see Wayne Cole's book Ghost Rails VI.

  I don't think it is accurate - as far as where the Harmony route left the city.  This map has the Harmony route following Pgh Railways route 3 Millvale, then branching off from there.  The Harmony route left downtown Pgh via East Street, then on to private right of way, which I think a part of eventually became, McKnight Road.

  The Harmony route ran parallel to Babcock Blvd for a good long run, so the map appears to have that correct.  Not sure about the rest.

  Good find, though.  Hope that Google incorporates more abandoned car lines into their maps!

  Hello. Can anyone on this list tell me if this
  map is accurate? Perhaps if anyone
  has the time they could explain where the stations 
  and those fantastic bridges were located?

  Thanks

  PS. Kind of hard to follow the green route on satellite.
