[PRCo] Keating 1965-66 - THIRD RE-SEND

[Bob Rathke]

I don't know if the pond was created by rain, or if the fire dept. filled the low area of ground with water for use by neihborhood skaters.

Thanks much for sharing, Bob!   Kind of melancholy, but great historical photos.  So enough water filled an unintentional pond after demolition of the car house?

The last day for operations at Keating CH (routes10 and 15) was 9/4/65. After that date, the remaining North Side routes (14 and 21)operated out of Tunnel CH until they were discontinuted on 4/30/66.  Attached is a photo of the Keating administration building that I took on 2/27/65 when it was still active (note that PAT had removed the name "Comany" from the "Pittsburgh Rwailways Company" name on the second floor of the building). The second photo shows the empty barn and yard on 9/5/65, the day after abondonment. The Keating facilites were demolished in the Fall of 1965 in preparation for building PAT's Ross Bus Garage. However, the property remained in use - sort of - and on 1/16/66 I took the last photo showing the neighborhood ice rink among the rubble.
