Fred:

As I recall, the photo showed a 2-car train of 3750's with crew standing 
at the pilot.  On the dasher of the lead car was a hanging-type sign 
which identified the Charleroi routing.  The pic was too closely cropped 
to indicate the location.  The lead car's number was obscured -- I have
forgoyyen why -- but it may have been because of a thru-the-wall heating 
vent.  However, there is no doubt in my mind that these were 3750's 
taken circa 1925.  Who knows, this could have been a promotional shot
or a test-run.

Now was the picture in the supermarket clearly 3750s?  Were they in
scheduled service?  And was the picture taken at an identifiable
location on the interurban line?
