We had similar discussion a while back. The earliest photo I have of
the winged logo is of 1614 probably on fan-trip of 1)--1952.07.27 1614
PRCo Joint Trip with Akron, OH, RR Club. Washington Shannon Charleroi,
Roscoe, Washington; regular service car 4387 Black Diamond to Donora or
2)--1953.08.23 1614 PRCo Last PRMA fantrip Pittsburgh to Washington --
and I would tend to guess the latter.

So this indicates that trippers were run to Drake while service to
Washington was still in operation. Wonder if any Canonsburg trippers
were cut?
Have the photo and painting of you greeting THE last Canonsburg
tripper, 1647, on Saturday, 1953.08.29, in my Washington album!!(:->)
