RV01	2:18 Rivers	The Allegheny The Allegheny River begins in mountains of North Central Pennsylvania near Coudersport, flows north, crosses the state line into New York, then turns south into the Allegheny Reservoir at the Kinzua Dam. Segment includes photos of Kinzua Dam and the 1936 flood.	Rivers and Valleys
RV02	3:27 Gas station	Peter Bleech, who runs a gas station and store in Rogertown tells about logging on the upper Allegheny.	Rivers and Valleys
RV03	6:44	The name "Allegheny" is believed of Native American origin meaning "fair waters." The name of the river has extended to the mountains, the county, and the old city of Allegheny (now North Side) across the river from downtown Pittsburgh. Traffic and development on the upper Allegheny is mostly recreational but gets busier and more industrial as it nears Pittsburgh.	Rivers and Valleys
RV04	9:44 Barge with Downtown Pittsburgh in background	The Mon's West Virginia origins The 128-mile Monongahela River starts at Fairmont, in the mountains of West Virginia and ends at Pittsburgh where it meets the Ohio. The Point, where the Tygart and the West Fork Rivers join to form the Mon, is still undeveloped and looks like what Pittsburgh must have looked at it's beginning.	Rivers and Valleys
RV05	11:50 Maps, barge	The Mon's industrial heritage The Mon was a hard-working river--the busiest inland waterway in the world--when Pittsburgh was the capital of industry. The "Steel Valley" now suffers economic depression	Western PA History
RV06	13:24 Barge in fog	Day in the life of a towboat This segment follows the Wanda B, a towboat run by Consolidation Coal Company out of West Elizabeth. The front watch builds a "tow" by tying together 13 barges. Deckhands check for leaks and keep the barges shipshape. Tow arrives at Duquesne, docks, drops off the barges, then pick up empties at Clairton to take back to Elizabeth. The crew works one week on and one week off and eat the plain-cooked home-made food prepared in the kitchen of towboat. Name "Monongahela" probably came from the Delaware tribe, meaning "high banks breaking off and falling down at places."	Rivers and Valleys: transportation, work
RV07	22:00 Begins after dictionary page of Monongahela	Pittsburgh's Origins at the Forks of the Ohio Allegheny and Mon come together at Pittsburgh, forming the Ohio River. In early days the French considered the Allegheny and Ohio as one river called "La Belle Riviere" or "The Beautiful River" with the Mon a tributary of the bigger river. George Washington called the "Ohio and the Aligany" the same river in his journals. "Ohio" is of Native American origin meaning either "beautiful river," "frothy waters," or "something big." It flows 981 miles to Cairo Illinois where it flows into the Mississippi.	Western PA History Rivers and Valleys
RV08	23:15 Begins after map: looking downstream on the river	The locks and dams Lockmaster at Emsworth Locks explains why the river needs locks and dams. Segment also includes old film, paintings, and drawings of locks and boats.	Rivers and Valleys Western PA History
RV09	27:00 Old BW engraving	Flatboats, keelboats, and steamboats PHLF historian Walter Kidney talks about the early steamships on Pittsburgh rivers and shows drawings, diagrams, blueprints and photos of early flatboats, keelboats, packets, and passenger boats. Captain Frederick Way, Jr. of Sewickley, piloted packets on the Ohio River in the 1920s and 1930s. He shows books, pictures, and memorabilia from his career and tells of his riverboat travels.

RV10	35:20 Buffet table	River Renaissance During Pittsburgh's Renaissance, ALCOSAN, the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority, began cleaning up the rivers. Its treasurer, John Connelly, conceived of the Gateway Clipper to attract tourists to the newly clean rivers. Today the fleet has grown to six boats.

RV11	39:10 Newspaper headline	The Mystery of the B25 The biggest river mystery in Pittsburgh is the sinking of the B25 bomber in the Mon near the Hi-Level Bridge in 1956. The airforce says it is still there but it has never been found! Many people report having seen it being salvaged and hauled away during that same night.	Western PA History.
RV12	43:05 Point fountain spray with rainbow	Geology of the "Fourth River" Another mystery is the "Fourth River" supposedly flowing under the Point. A geotechnical engineer explains that it is really an "aquifer," a geological layer of sand and gravel that absorbs and stores water. Water from the aquifer is pumped up to feed the Point fountain .

RV13	45:00 Water treatment plant	Drinking the water Residents of Allegheny County get their water from 25 different treatment plants. Water for Pittsburgh itself comes from the treatment plant near Aspinwall on the Allegheny, where we see how river water becomes tap water. Businesses are also large consumers of treated water. Water for Iron City Brewery comes from Highland Park Reservoir.	Rivers and Valleys: water supply
RV14	49:05 Canoe on water	Fun on the Rivers The rivers were used for escape and relaxation in the 19^th century but industrial pollution eventually put a stop to river recreation. Now fish are back in the rivers and fisherman are back. Pleasure boats are now as common as tow boats and regattas are back! Since 1978 the annual Three Rivers Regatta attracts hundreds of thousands of people to Pittsburgh to watch international formula one racing and all kinds of water sports.

RV15	53:40 Plan on paper	Planning the rivers' future Future plans for the rivers include more recreation, waterfront parks, and resorts along the rivers. We also see drawings of past ideas for river development. Turning Herr's Island into Washington's Landing has successfully brought residential, commercial, recreational, and light industrial uses together on the river. The sport of rowing is now making a comeback there.	Having Fun Bridges and Buildings Rivers and Valleys
