Thanks Bob. I was depending on you for clarification.
And thanks Herb for posting. The shock was that so many locations looked familiar.

> A minor correction to #805. This is the corner of Shiloh St. and Southern

> 801 - inb. 39 W. Liberty Ave. at ramp to Palm Garden trestle.

> 802 3756 returned to PAT for start of light rail operation - Beechview
> Blvd.
>
> 803 OB 56 coming off p.r.w. at Dravosburg. Is that Lebanon Church Rd.??
>
> 804 Liberty Ave. from Pgh digital history site
>
> 805 inb 40 Shiloh with Grandview Ave. in background. Mon incline one block
> to right (out of sight)
>
> 806 leaving 1st Ave.
>
> 807 I want to say Library line with Bethel Church Rd. in background. But

>
> 808 Ingram car house
>
> 809 interesting. Want to look at that a bit more - might not be PRC.

> 810 - Car 100 on demonstration use rt. 38 at Clearview Loop.
>
> 811 - car 4115/M454 OB 64 on Kelly - photographer is standing on Pennwood
> Ave. in Wilkinsburg.
>
> 812 - old Point Bridge
>
> 813 - inb 67 on Forbes at Craft. The buiding in background is give-away -
> across street from Craft Ave. car house. Curves in foreground are west end
> access to carhouse.
>
> 814 - Another one where I want to say Knoxville Incline, although Castle
> Shannon incline would be another choice. Need someone born before 1940s.
>
> 815 - first thought was 16th St. bridge, but too narrow - it's Brady St.
> with Mt. Washington in background. Building in background still exists.

> Now for another look at 809

> thanks Herb. This was fun.
