South Hills Junction

In 1904 Pittsburgh Railways Co. blasted a tunnel through mostly solid rock under Mt. Washington. From the end of the Smithfield St. Bridge, the connection into downtown Pittsburgh, two tracks ran up a 6% grade exiting to what some rail fans call trolley heaven: South Hills Junction I am currently building a model of the junction area. It will be an HO module built to the standards of the East Penn Traction Club. While the research will never be complete, I am constructing this web site to share my findings and progress of the module.
