[PRCo] "Stumbled Upon" Photos of Pittsburgh and Trolleys ( Section 1)

Sat Aug 10 23:25:56 EDT 2013

Another instance where I should not try typing late at night when tired.   Meant to say in Beechview - (period) for 802.  Didn't mean to add the Blvd.  3756 is inbound on Broadway at about Coast in Beechview.   Perhaps this was a photo stop??  There's a photo from Ray Foley or Frank Miklos at same location, but slightly different angle.

As for 807, went on - and on - too much about my initial confusion over direction at Hillcrest.  Had to cheat and check google maps.
