I think we're going too far with this thing. If the intersection was being
ripped up anyway so the normal curves could be replaced, perhaps the PRCo
was covering all bases by putting extra rails in at that time. After all,
the rennessaince was already being discussed and that would have included
the Fort Pitt Bridge. Perhaps they just wanted extra flexibilty to shift
cars around as the new bridge was being built. No one could have foreseen
that the trolleys would have been banned from the bridge in 1949.
