[PRCo] South Hills Jct Question

[Edward H. Lybarger]

30th Street CH was razed sometime in 1939; don't know when it was disused.
At some point  the loop was flipped from one side of the street to the
other, I believe.

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.
