Tarentum
Tarentum, Brackenridge & Butler
Like many such lines it never reached its terminal city name.  It fell short of Butler by about 20 miles, hence the locals always called it the Tarentum, Brackenridge & Birdville (local name for a section of Harrison Township).  The car in the photo was replaced by cars bought from West Penn Railway sometime around 1920.  The line was abandoned in 1937.
