Unfortunately, a very tragic story accompanying the photo.  Wow.

My hunch is those tracks weren't removed or paved over for several years to come.  Even in the early to mid-60s, the tracks would appear through the asphalt, further up East Ohio, just beyond the 40th Street Bridge, along the whole section where the Millvale car house was.   And a full section of tracks ramping up toward Etna on East Ohio existed for years just beyond Evergreen Road.   Always caused a little bit of melancholy for me, I think, never having witnessed any Millvale or Etna cars in action.    Right across the river, we were busy riding the Frankstown and flying fraction cars a great deal.

A look at some of their old photos.

The notable one for us is at the bottom of the page, when East Ohio Street still had tracks and was not effectively a semi-limited access highway.
