Pittsburgh Railways Island Substation 3
I'm certainly an aficionado of antique electrical equipment, and in many cities the streetcar system's substation buildings have survived long after the streetcars they once powered were gone. Take for example the Pittsburgh Railways Island Substation located at the corner of Island Ave. and Bouquet Street in the McKees Rocks neighborhood. Further interest is created by the fact that it was built on the side of steep hill. As an added bonus it's directly across the street from a neat old shortline railroad shop, currently used by the Pittsburgh & Ohio Central RR.
