And Ohio River Boulevard. I can actually hear a train on it right now through my window? Why can't I take a train to the city? Or ride my bike along a path next to the train tracks?

My mom told us stories of taking the train from Rochester in Beaver County down into Pittsburgh, when she was a child. IIRC it was like 5 cents a ticket (1940-50’s).

There used to be commuter traffic on those tracks. There were stations all along the river, there's a street in Avalon that runs right to the tracks.
