Reply to ""Heritage" trolleys at Castle Shannon <video>"

There are nice maps of Pittsburgh trolleys in the wonderful book Transit in the Triangle by Hays and Toman, published in 2012 by the CERA (Central Electric Railfans Association). Here some photos I took in the early 1950s including the Flying Fraction. Enjoy. 77 /54 S. Hills Junction11 Mt. Wash Tunnel15 39 S. Hills Jct 47 Carrick ViaTunnel87 Ardmore Drake Loop40 Mt.
