[PRCo] Re: FW: Snodders Switch

[Barry, Matthew R]

I'm probably not thee ultimate expert, but I believe "snodders switch" was close to where Verona Road met with Frankstown Road.

Hi,  

 

I've had the attached slide in my files from a batch I bought long ago.  I got to wondering where Snodders Switch was, but haven't found it online anywhere.  I see the rte no is 78, and I did read in Ron Beal's wonderful Volume One book about PRCO that there once was a 78 Verona Oakmont line.
The new CERA book has nothing on it.  

 

And the only web reference I found was an article about a development along the Allegheny River that had "Snodders Switch" in the title, but no mention of it in the article.  So I assume it was somewhere along the Allegheny
River.   Do you have any idea where it was?
