Ed,

What was the sequence on the Smithfield St bridge?
Single width with tracks. 
Double width with tracks both sides. 
Double width segregated. 
What were the transition dates?  I am working out of town and Pgh histories are home.   Did the changes eventually come about due to consolidation?
Thanks

Ed
