Fred, Please talk to me off-list to talk about acquisition of these shots. They all sound great, including the Dengler shot with the Laketon Rd. sign. I've seen a couple photos with a 78 Snodders Switch sign. Was this a made up sign by railfans? What is the story behind Snodders switch? I may have been told before but my memory escapes me. Thanks!

There is a fairly common picture of open car 3020 on North Braddock Avenue at Bennett St (the typical company official picture) with an Oakmont sign. And we have a picture of the trestle across Sandy Creek on the Oakmont line with a car on it. I probably saw Laketon Road cars two or three times a month when I was a kid because Wilkinsburg was then the acceptable place for people in Penn Hills to shop or have dinner on Saturday night if you didn't want to drive all the way downtown. There is a picture of a 4200 in the Dengler collection with a Laketon Road sign turned up. I just looked at my print yesterday. Probably in the first ten numbers of the series. When I scanned those 4200s today, I was astonished at how strong they were compared to the 4250s and 4300s after the extra doors were added. I can't find one picture of a sagging 4200! But you can find 4350s where the doors opened up a 1/2 inch across one pair of leaves.
