Pittsburgh Railways, Then and Now

Museum is at Washington, on a former line. Yes, I've ridden it. PCCs are a "real experience" at full speed. All Pennsylvania trolley lines were a slightly different gauge, "to prevent competition".
Does anybody have photos of the double-tracked Neville Island line? Dravo built the WW II LSTs at the downstream end of the island. See GOOGLE or bing photos. The Neville Island carline was separated from the rest of Pittsburgh Railway by a very busy railroad. Riders walked across. LST's were the route to Normandy. One LST may exist, beached near the mouth of the Rio Grande; didn't make the cut.
