Transit in the Triangle
A Century Look at Pittsburgh Public Transit
by Blaine S. Hays and James A. Tomanki 

CERA Bulletin 145 

Words cannot adequately describe the incredible scope of operations of the
Pittsburgh Railways Company. At its peak, Pittsburgh Railways operated 606
miles of trackage (1918) over 68 streetcar routes. Pittsburgh Railways was
the first transit operator in North America to place a PCC car in revenue
service in August 1936. Over a period of several years, Pittsburgh Railways
acquired 666 PCC streetcars, giving it the third largest PCC car fleet in
North America. Streetcars operated in both urban settings and on two
interurban lines to Washington, PA and Charleroi, PA. 

Spanning 224 pages with more than 350 photos, many in full color, and
featuring track maps and an extensive roster, Transit in the Triangle is
sureto be a popular edition, so don’t wait. Order it now while it is still
in print!
