[PRCo] Castle Shannon slum???

[Edward H. Lybarger]

This article refers to Mine #2, which was indeed in Castle Shannon (near
today's Ford Dealership).  PRCo once had a stop there; it was between Cooley
and Linden Grove.

The mine at Washington Junction was P.T. Coal Co. Mine No. 3 (not 7); the
patch was/is known as Mollenauer.

This link leads to an abandoned mining patch story in the Pittsburgh Press
("50 Heath Law Violations..") in the postwar period at Castle Shannon.
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company sounds like a subsidiary of
Wabash-Pittsburgh Terminal Railroad, i.e. the Pittsburgh and West Virginia.
The earlier maps show they did own Mine 7 down at Washington Junction.
However, I have no clue that it was in Castle Shannon borough in 1947 . it
was not 40 years earlier.

Anyone knowledgeable enough to tell me what this refers to in todays terms?
