The "McKeesport Connecting RR" is well-known, but what about these two?

MCKEESPORT TERMINAL
1897-1922. 0.46m line, to the American Sheet & Tinplate Co's Woods Works. Does anybody know where this was? The Connecting RR built a spur to the works after 1922.

MCKEESPORT & CLAIRTON
1911-15. 0.25m line, but where? Was it a successor to the "McKeesport & Clairton Connecting", 1905-9? Sold to "Monongahela & Youghiogheny", 1915. This latter company does not feature in ICC stats, so presumably did not operate. Was it another B&O dream?
