[PRCo] Second avenue tracks

[George W. Gula]

When I arrived in Pittsburgh in 1975, Second Avenue had exposed unused
tracks set in concrete from the 10th Street Bridge to the B&O RR overpass
at Irvine Street & Greenfield Avenue. The switches there were also
showing. Browns Hill Road had concrete-set track in it from the top of the
hill at Hazelwood Avenue to the bridge.
