Greetings!

	This photo (http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/pitts/jpg/wvp46.jpg) from 
the Volkmer collection shows Donora local 4357 crossing the wye in Donora.
	Someone recently inquired about this wye.  While listed as a freight 
spur, it was used to turn single end cars from Pittsburgh during a brief period 
in the *1920s* (22-25, I believe) when every other car from Pittsburgh went to 
either Donora or Charleroi/Roscoe.
	I was simply going to list the date as 20s but that could be confusing 
in the near future!
