	Cheeze Whiz  --  how could we forget the All--Color Morning Sun book on
the Pgh area which includes WP, PRCo, JTC????

	Pgs.6-7 show 294 with black and orange logo.
	Pg.8 shows 833 with ?gray? logo but 733 and the single
		truck loco with White Background Logo.
	Pg.12 712 with White Background
		291--No Logo.
	Pg.16 and 288 appears Gray
	Pg.30 shows what looks like 703 WithOut Logo
	Pg.32 shows 719 with Logo and Orange Background??
		While 706 is apparently WithOut Logo.

	This book reveals a very high percentage of 700s with
		White Background Logos!!

	So we might also ask: : : : : : :

	1)--Did Only the 700s get White Background Logos??
	2)--Did the High 200s get Orange Background Logos??
	3)--Were there different Styles of Logos over the Years??
	4)--Was the most recent logo applied during repainting  OR
		did an older car get an older style logo???????
		(ala the high 200s??)
