It was BANNING Siding.  And the photographic firm was NEW YORK Studio.
Let's not conduct a game and then provide non-facts.  Details, details...

For those who know the geography, Banning Siding was at the top of the first
hill on the Plillips route, along present-day Wood Street.

Bingo!

Now you're thinking like a businessman.

Bannock Siding -- the first siding south of the Connellsville shops on
the line through Phillips to Uniontown.

If the subject is the car, and not something along the right-of-way, the
most logical place would be someplace near the shops.  Bannock was on
top of the hill.

It was used by West Penn just like Pittsburgh Railways ran their cars
around the corner from the shops to North Braddock and Bennet.

By the way, the picture of 833 at Bannock was hand lettered by a
draftsman with india ink.  The car was taken up there before the
painting was even finished.

Oh, the common photographic firm was Pittsburgh Studio, Connellsville
and they are now out of business.
