Pittsburgh and Butler Street Railway
The Pittsburgh and Butler Street Railway, commonly called the Butler Short Line, was a broad gauge interurban streetcar line connecting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States to Butler via Mars.
==History==
The Pittsburgh and Butler Street Railway was opened in 1907 between Pittsburgh and Butler traveling via Etna, Glenshaw, Allison Park, and Mars. In 1914 the railway converted from AC to 1200V DC which reduced power consumption by 15% and reduced the weight of each car by 6 tons.〔
In 1917 the railway amalgamated with the ''Pittsburgh, Harmony, Butler and New Castle Railway'', who operated the Harmony Line between Pittsburgh and New Castle, the new company being named the Pittsburgh, Mars and Butler Railway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rachel Carson Trails – Harmony Trail )〕
In April 1931 the company went into receivership. The Butler Short Line was closed on April 22, 1931〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zelienople Historical Society – The Harmony Line – The End of an Era )〕 as it was in poor condition, services being absorbed into the existing PA 8 bus service. The stub of the Butler Short Line continued to be used by Pittsburgh Railways as the ''2 Etna'' service until closure in 1952.
