Becks Run
Becks Run is a tributary of the Monongahela River. As an urban stream, it is heavily polluted, receiving combined sewer outflow from Carrick (Pittsburgh)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://google.com/search?q=cache:DAm5SeIr_goJ:www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol28/28-52/28_52_not.pdf+%22Becks+Run%22+%22coal+mine%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=9&gl=us )〕 and Mount Oliver, Pennsylvania. There is a waterfall on a tributary, just downstream from a slate dump, near the intersection of Wagner Avenue and Mountain Avenue. There were coal mines along the stream, including Becks Run #2, owned by the estate of James H. Hays,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://abbott-lavalle.info/places/lowerstclair.html )〕 served by an incline and the H.B. Hays and Brothers Coal Railroad. Other mines at various times were operated by the Birmingham Coal Company, H.G. Burghman, Jones & Laughlin, and the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company.〔(Virtual Museum of Coal Mining in Western Pennsylvania )〕
It is the namesake of the Pittsburgh and Beck's Run Railroad (1877-1880), which ran from the Smithfield Street Bridge to the Jones and Laughlin Iron Works, and was absorbed by the P&LE Railroad.
A former town, located where Becks Run enters the Monongahela, was also named Becks Run.
