"A view of the trackwork at South Hills Junction, seen from the hillside to the north. The train at the station at upper right is headed south towards Beechview on route 42S or 42L. The tracks at the top lead to the currently-suspended "Overbrook route" once used by PCCs to reach Castle Shannon, Library and Drake. The tracks at lower left carry Route 52 to Warrington Avenue, and the tracks at lower right enter the Mt. Washington tunnel." (Jon Bell)
