Nostalgia & History > Pittsburgh Light Rail 1985

1-2: December 1, 1985: Terrible Trolley at Smithfield Street Station and entering the South Hills Tunnel.
3: Pre-drone elevated view from Mt. Washington.  The PCCs were equipped with pantographs to run on the new LRT infrastructure.  This one is heading towards downtown on the former PRR Panhandle Bridge.  PRR called the wye junction with the Mon Line here MONON.  The J&L steel mills upriver are visible in the background.  They did not last long after this.

I'm done with photos for now.  I wish everyone a blessed Holy Week and let's pray for our churches to re-open!

Thank you for some fine images. May you and everyone have a blessed Holy Week, and health and safety in these challenging times.

Another great look into the past of the steel city! I miss the PCC streetcars.
