Greetings!

	Bound Volume #2 has a wealth of photos on PRCo and WP.  Thought I might
detail some of them here.

	Issue #22-3 shows a photo of Tylerdale Car House completely empty as
far as can be seen.  The view is looking south from the north end of the
barn.
	On the same page is WP 733 at Sandhouse Siding.
	The cover of issue #23-1, June 1959, shows a brand new 1717 racing
across the Warrington Ave trestle bound for CHARLEROI!  Photo by Russel
Schram.
	And the cover of issue #24-1 shows Washington Jct. looking south with a
3800 heading toward Charleroi.  On the same page is a small photo near
the WP freight station in Uniontown.
	Issue #27-3 in the bottom left shows Richfol trestle looking south at
about the point where the trestle starts the curve.  And the same page
shows a photo of 109 on the Harmony route on a trestle, a rather
standard photo.
	In the bottom right of #27-4 is a supposed mystery photo of a trestle. 
This is identified in another photo in #28-4 with WP 832 on the
trestle.  The trestle is one of the 3-high level trestles north of
Charleroi and WP-832 was being moved from Charleroi to Ingram Car House
to be stored there awaiting a permanent Museum home.  This home was
found and the car made it under its own power to County Home Siding on
the Washington interurban on 07 February 1954!
	Issue #22-2 bottom left shows a dual gauge turnout on West Penn in
Connellsville and by necessity, the point is in the outside rail!
	Issue #27-2 shows the post abandonment fantrip of 733 & 739 possibly on
the Brownsville trestle with fans Ed and Fred on their bicycles!
	Issue #32-2 shows the WP barns at Connellsville.
