[PRCo] Pittburgh Railway Company Map Draft

[Stephen Titchenal]

I have posted a draft of a geographically correct map of the Pittsburgh
Railway Company and surrounding area at its peak in the early 20th Century.
The background digital elevation image is low resolution to keep the
document size reasonable while in draft form. Because of the number of
vector layers, it may take awhile to load in Acrobat Reader. You can use the
layer navigation panel to turn individual layers on and off.

A number of list members have helped me trace some of the lines shown.
Thanks for all your help.

I would appreciate any feedback on missing or misplaced lines. I have not
tied the map to a specific date, but tried to show lines that were in place
at anytime in the early 20th Century.

A couple of questions:

1. I assume the WP Oakdale and McDonald line followed Noblestown Road
between the named cities. Where did it end in each city?

2. Did the WP enter Brownsville on 6th Ave and take Market to about 3rd Ave?
