The PRR Duquesne Elevated Branch Val Map from 1926 doesn't even bother to
show the P&WV, much less a connection with it.

The line on the 1930 Interstate map connecting the two, almost looks like an
afterthought - could even be one of the fake lines sometimes put on a map to
help with a copyright infringement claim if someone copies it ;-)

Well, well, well. At last a map, perhaps The Map, which shows a P&WV - PRR
connection in dahntahn.

Based on previous discussion on the matter, I suspect an error.
