Panoramic Photos

[Edward G Skuchas]

Thanks Jim for the LOC link.

One Scranton photo shows a deck roof car.

One Wilkes-Barre photo shows the W-B end of the Wilkes-Barre & Hazleton Electric Railway.  The line was outside third rail except for a stretch in Hazleton.  The W-B end is elevated and passed over the Laurel Line, another outside third rail line from W-B to Scranton.  They did not connect to one another, but were about 20 feet apart at one point (vertically).

Greetings!

	http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/pangeogindex1.html is an arm of the Library
of Congress which offers the enclosed listing of PA locations.  Several
of the photos may have been discussed here before.  In checking the
website, it seems that it is much better organized.  There are 16 photos
listed for Pgh. and that list comes first.
	Cityscapes, landscapes, group portraits, agricultural life, beauty
contests; disasters; engineering work such as bridges, canals and dams;
fairs and expositions; military and naval activities, especially during
World War I; the oil industry; schools and college campuses, sports, and
transportation are the various categories which can be searched.
