Schmidt - Pittsburgh

From the Schmidt Photo Collection, Pittsburgh Railways.

Decoding the photographer's wretched handwriting is always a challenge, but especially here when I'm not familiar with the area.  Many of these place names are guesses on my part -- please don't laugh.  Corrections welcome.

Of particular interest is the first photo.  This old pay car must be the M1, the first car acquired by PTM, and the "fans" would have been the founding members of the Arden Trolley Museum.
