1731 on 21-Fineview

[brathke at juno.com]

I've got news for everyone - this photo of 1731 IS on 21-Fineview.

It was taken on the downgrade just north of the Channel 11 studios (large
building visible through the trees above the PCC).  Outbound, the line
reached the summit of the hill near the TV studios and behind the garage
building in the background, then started twisting downhill toward the
camera, and the East St. Bridge and the Charles St. layover point.

In 1965-66, I took numerous photos at the location shown in this photo of
1731, and I just compared some of my slides to this website view to
confirm the location.

The 1731 has a route 68 sign, so it must have been a fantrip.  This is
the only photo I've ever seen of a 1700 on Fineview.
