For all those fans in the Mon-Valley area, this is indeed

Hello PWVJer
Is there any way one could come by sometime and view these maps? (I'll be in the Pittsburgh area mid September).
I grew up near Pricedale (next to the Monessen Junction yard actually) and have an active interest in that area, especially from back then.

Sure Tim.
No problem, Let me know the date & time and I'll
have the maps ready & rolled-out for viewing.
BTW, we had these on display at the past
NMRA regional (Pittsburgh/Greentree) show-convention. Lots of interest
by P&LE and mid-Mon Valley R.R. fans as well.
