Legacy Streetcar Tracks 7

Legacy Streetcar tracks still exposed in the Pittsburgh area. {11039} I've researched more old trackage and have placed images in my "Pittsburgh" album. Photo by Robert Carlson. Pittsburgh and Allegheny County have undertaken to obliterate all vestiges of its once extensive passenger rail system. The tracks have been pulled from streets where new concrete pavement is placed. Where an asphalt layer is placed, the tracks are merely buried under the pavement. Those tracks occasionally reappear when the asphalt weathers, cracks and crumbles. Even so, there are seven locations I have documented where legacy tracks have never been buried under pavement. This short segment in at an intersection of Soffel St. on the south side of Pittsburgh.
