[PRCo] Re: Grade crossings

Yes; I forgot the one at Keating.  Thank You.  There weren't
many.  St.Anne's did not have one.  In Castle Shannon
all traffic lights went solid red to allow the interurbans to
cross.  Yes; I remembered Connor; Mr.Brashear provided
the name.  There is nothing more on the interurbans in
Allegheny.
Some city lines had flashing yellow to indicate trolley prw;
these flashed continually.  The flashing red above were
activated by track circuit weren't they.  Setting the lights
in Castle Shannon was done by overhead contactor.


We now have five red-flashing warnings activated by
track circuit:  McMurray on old Washington line, 3-more
on the interurban, and one at Keating.

Yes.   Perry Highway at Keating Car House had flashers.      Rathke also answered the question ... numerous ... I cannot remember all of them but I do remember the crossing of route 88 at West Library loop had flashers.   Derrick remembered the crossing north of Washington Junction.     I am wondering about St. Anne's ... it would have been very busy on Sundays and there is also a parochial school that would create traffic?  I cannot remember clearly but I think there were flashers there. 

I think Mt. Lebanon Blvd. in Castle Shannon did ... it does today.
