I got a question regarding Mt Washington. I did see the view of downtown Pittsburgh from Mt Washington and I am wondering. Is there a particular exit to use when getting off the Penn Lincoln Highway to get to Mt Washington or could I catch the T to get to either Mt Washington or the Duquesne Incline? |

The T will take you to the Monongahela incline, the Duquesne is only accessible by bus. And as for driving, exiting the Penn Lincoln Parkway at the exit before/right after the Fort Pitt tunnel can take you into Mt. Washington. Exit 69B/C, take Saw Mill Run Blvd to Woodruff St and then that takes you into Mt. Washington (look it up on Google/Bing Maps). |

This is great news! I hope the service works out for Lezner, though. Were the Metroliners used on these routes? |

I wouldn't be shocked if the ATU raises hell with regards to this proposal. |

I cant wait until I get to Pittsburgh. My goal is to leave my house at 20 minutes before 6am that Friday. Stop and grab a cup of coffee. Then hit the Road. And stop only when I need to use the restroom or another cup of coffee and hope to be there before Lunch time. The estimated map time is 4 hours and 12 minutes from my house to my hotel. But Im sure Im gonna have to pit stop along the turnpike at least 2 times. Maybe more. I am intending on stopping at the amtrak station when I arrive. And walk through as much of downtown as possible. Maybe even Parkway Town center and definetely the Mall at Robinson.
