Looks like that large old concrete trestle over Sawmill Run Blvd aka PA Route 51 that led to the Wabash tunnel may be torn down. This June 30th, 2023 article from WPXI has some details: I wonder what was there before P&WV rebuilt it. Any photos of what was originally there?

Sorry for the really late reply. To busy to lurk here lately. Better late the never…

That was originally built the wye for the tunnel through Mt. Washington to the downtown terminal. All that was there previously was Saw Mill Run and a dinky version of Saw Mill Run Blvd. And West Side Belt on the hillside.
