    Does the light rail even make it to the Amtrak station? Last time I was in Pittsburgh I had to walk almost a mile down Grant to catch it. This map seems more aspirational than existent.

      I think you’re talking about the Penn Station, to which the answer is yes, its the end of the dark blue line on the right side.

      This map seems more aspirational than existent.

      Yeah, it’s dog shit. Part of that is because it’s kind of a pointless task to map the rail system, because there basically is none. Google used to have a good display for it, but it looks like they took it out.

      Here is a better one, though it doesn’t show the shear mass of area that isn’t covered:

        I thought it was called Union Station. The closest light rail station is in Steel Plaza. Apparently there used to be a light rail station near Union Station, and the light rail station was called Penn Station, but it closed like five years ago.

          Actually, yeah you’re correct and I was wrong.

          and the light rail station was called Penn Station, but it closed like five years ago.

          Yeah, that figures.
