Greetings!

        Good old ISP is acting up again.  Received Ed's answer as
"southbound at County Line" hours before Matt's question entitled: "This
IS a tough One!" shows up and before Ed's response of ". . . tell me the
signal
number!"
        According to the July 1952 issue of *Electric Railroads,* this
PRCo car 2100 http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/pitts/htm/wvp27.htm was
made by the company shops by splicing two single truck cars together. 
While I have what I *thought* was an exhaustive listing of all PRCo
equipment, this number does not show up on the list!
        And *Electric Railroads* identifies this same photo,
http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/pitts/htm/wvp19.htm, as 3556, not 3555. 
This same photo is used in *Electric Railroads.*  The builder is listed
as Standard-Steel, PRCo.  Being built in 1915, it was the predecessor of
the 3700 series interurbans. 
http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/pitts/htm/wvp03.htm is another photo of
the car on a cold day in Canonsburg.  Note the windshield wiper!!!  Had
to be before January 28 1946 as that is when the car was scrapped by
burning at Ingram.  (*Electric Railroads* can still be purchased as a
reprint from PTM.)
