The PRR commuter trains on the Panhandle ran only to Burgettstown, not to Steubenville, in 1964—and for several years prior.

Attached is a scan of the last Pittsburgh-Kiskiminitas Jct. commuter timetable, 4/26/64. 



The PRR also had a commuter train on the west side of the Allegheny River between Pittsburgh and Schenley. Plus commuter trains to Derry, Steubenville, Elrama and Beaver 

Falls.  All were discontinued in October, 1964, but the Elrama run ended earlier. 



In the 1950's the line through Brady's Bend was a point of interest described at the observation platform above the r iver, but I never saw a train moving on the line at that point.

Looks like a drainage flume to me.
