[PRCo] South Hills Jct Question

[Fred Schneider]

Looks like the old shop building which was later used as a vehicle repair shop.   But you are telling me it does not exist so I cannot help.

At least it is at the same location.

Until the Depression, heavy overhauls were scattered all over the system … Tunnel, Manchester, Homewood.   I think that's all.   Early in the 1930s they closed Tunnel and Manchester overhaul shops and concentrated all overhaul work at Homewood and instituted a scheduled maintenance program.   They also closed a bunch of carbarns like McKeesport, Wilmerding, Castle Shannon, Rankin.   I have no idea when Point Bridge closed … probably earlier.
