[PRCo] Re: wrong side of the river?

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Brashear,

This looks like a case for Detective Lybarger doesn't it.  We know
the only place the Charleroi line crossed the Monongahela is downtown
Pittsburgh isn't it.  Thus the car is apparently heading south rather
than north.

Is it near Monongahela City?  A bridge over a tributary is at Black
Diamond Jct; double track leads to the Jct.  But this does not seem
to fit.  It appears the car is on a bridge; the railing far side suggests
this.  It also seems rather new construction; paving is new as well.
The bridge across the Monongahela doesn't fit this location does it.

It looks like a coal tipple or associated structure spans the highway
in the distance; I can not determine what the trolley tracks do at that
distance.  I am looking for evidence of single track.

If the signs are correct this is a shuttle from Mongahela south and
return not the Donora car.  I can not detect the motorman at the
controller.  Did the car stop and pose for this picture?  Do schedules
reveal a run or train "86"?

If the signs are correct this could be other places along the river
from Mongahela south.  Does it fit any other location?


Phil
