This is the first history of this popular electric line. For those who live Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Lawrence, and in the surrounding counties, the Harmony Route has long been a magnetic history. . 70 miles of right of way, 2.5 miles of massive steel bridges, are covered almost mile by mile. Maps, drawings, early sketches by those who visualized or saw the last of the line, and tons of then and now photos tell the Harmony Route history. This book traverses: the Harmony Route in the city of Pittsburgh, North Side and Boggs and Buhl, Pittsburgh Evans City Division, the Butler Division, Ellwood City New Castle Division, and the Beaver Falls Extension. Plus separate sections: the golden years of Harmony service, the builders, the construction of the line, roster, Harmony Freight service, coal mines and dams, carbarn and powerhouse sections. Finally Ghost Rails details the history of Beaver Valley Traction that interchanged with the Harmony Route thru Ohio Valley towns to Sewickley, the home of Russell Boggs, who owned the Harmony Route. And sandwiched in-between the Harmony pages one finds the ghost connection to the Slippery Rock and Grove City Railway, a planned railway partially built and caught up in the Harmony building craze of 1908. Includes 16 pages of color photos. Golf1 ""
