More "Carbarn Sally" Pix on Dave's

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

Thanks Ken and Dave for the pictures.  A couple of them really struck home,
literally.  Picture pitt537.jpg, the 1700 on 40 Mt. Washington, was taken
across the street from where I grew up and pitt501.jpg was a block away.  So
I have to ask; Do you have any more of that location, Southern Avenue at
Natchez and Shiloh streets?  I am more interested in the buildings and
surrounding area than in the trolleys because I'm ready to start building an
East Penn module of the neighborhood.  I want to build it as the place
appeared in the mid fifties, my impressionable years.

If anyone has any more pictures, with or without street cars, I will take
them in any form.  

Thanks.
Bob

Hi All,

Dave has posted another eighteen Roberta Hill pix on his site under the
"Ken Josephson Collection." I sent another forty two today. The latter
batch (not up yet) features such oddities as a 1700 on Route 40, an
interurban PCC holding down a night run on Route 39, a sequence of shots
showing a motorman grappling with a defective trolley pole on a 1700,
dewirements, shots from overpasses, high rises, snow shots, last runs on
some lines (including Route 21), a group of passengers transfering to
the car in front of theirs (a breakdown, perhaps?), interior shots,
M-454 at South Hills Junction, etc.

I also put together a group of pictures depicting the following cars
still in PRCo. and/or PAT service: M-200, M-551, M-283, M-210, 1467 &
1711. gee, what do all those cars have in common? ;-) 

There will be a photo study of M-210, Routes 21 & 40 and several views
of Route 82. I also put together a carhouse and shop collection. There
are shots of cars being *washed*! :-)

Hope you enjoy the pix when they are posted.

Ken J.
