I have a couple of questions this morning:

1 - In a recent Trolley Talk magazine there was a non commercial ad from a 
Robert Gigliotti who lives in western PA.  He had for sale about 1,000 negs 
taken from 1938-1943, mainly B&O and West Penn and some other lines too.  I 
emailed him to see if he would sell prints of the West Penn but never heard 
from him.  I know Cliff Scholls did not buy the negatives as I talked to cliff
, but does anyone know him or know of the disposition of the West Penn negs?

2 - I have both heard of and seen the photo of some 700 bodies sitting in 
Uniontown, 
was it in Trolley Fare, and a couple of recent references in this group to 
the owner, who also has some PCC's and now we hear an 800.  Can someone tell 
us a bit about either the owner or the cars, why he has them, intentions, 
whatever.
