[PRCo] South Hills Jct Question

Fred

Do your records show when Carson Street Car House closed?  And when it was demolished? Also, was the loop there changed at some point in time or was it always adjacent to the car house or former car house?

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.
