I found this very interesting document while surfing today. It is a scan of a P&WV and WSB document from December 1922 showing the bridges, tunnels and stations on the system. Has a ton of info.

Pretty Informative JR;

I have noted on the Pittsburgh Bridges/Tunnel web site a difference in reporting the length of Tunnel 2 (Greentree).
Railroad documents I have seen all indicated Greentree Tunnel is 4,716 feet long where as the Pittsburgh web site lists Greentree as 4,225 ?
Someone lost 500 feet of tunnel ?

Bridge 7D / 15 - Interesting footnote ?

Bridge 31A - Many folks report this former bridge was formerly the Rook
Turntable, coming from Longview is quite intriguing.
