My father was born in 1905 and lived in Glenshaw right on the street where the line ran by. He told me that as a teenager he rode it several times and had fond memories of it
What a splendid talk. I've always been fascinated by the Harmony Line since I purchased a couple of commercial postcards showing the cars some years ago. It still makes me sad to know how much infrastructure was created and equipment bought for this and similar interurbans, ignorant of the fact that they would be out of business some twenty years later. Thank you so much for your superb effort in saving so much and I wish I was able to visit your museum (living in the UK). I will definitely buy the new book.
There was a tunnel north of Watter's Station on the Harmony Line (I think) that I went inside in the 00's. Interested in more history about this tunnel and Watter's Station.
Nice presentation. The line ran through what is now the Fox Run neighborhood of Cranberry Township. There was a Rowan Road stop and the right of way is visible looking from the north side of Rowan Road as it proceeds in a north easterly direction. The Cranberry stop was a few yards from the Burger King. A portion of the right of way is visible from old Router 19, if you know where to look. The right of way is also visible from the eastern side of I 79 to the Fox Run neighborhood. What if anything will remain since the land currently is being "developed."
The Harmony Line ran in a northeasterly direction through what is now the Fox Run neighborhood of Cranberry Township. The right of way can be seen heading northeasterly from the intersection of Rowan Road and Old Farm Road. The right of way is also visible from the east side of old Route 19 a few yards past the Burger King. I 79 interrupts the right of way but it is visible from the east side of I 79 to Fox Run.
Enjoyed the video, thanks! I was watching specifically to see the Bradford Woods Station (Bradford?) but I didn't see it. The video goes from talking about the Wexford Station and then to jumps to Warrendale.... but no Bradford Woods?
Fantastic content!!! Keep it coming
Amazing work, excellent!👍

I remember as a Boy Scout camping in a "park" in Bradford Woods that was supposedly on the Trolley Line. It had a pond/lake, pavillion if I believe.
North on rt8 allison park just before mccully rd there a yellow building supposedly built around a harmony line car
90lb rail is not a problem if maintained.
