PITTSBURGH LIGHT RAIL
Beechview

This next section in the Pittsburgh series is devoted to the Beechview route between South Hills Junction and the rejoining of the lines in Castle Shannon.  Beechview presents a much more old-time and appealing feel to its run than the alternate way south, the greatly renovated Overbrook line.  Trains pass through a variety of settings, including joint bus-train transitway, street operation, several viaducts over the undulating landscape, and along the private right of way pictured here that slices through the community of Dormont.
