	We are talking two different trips above::   1)--May--10,--1953 move of
West Penn 832 from Charleroi to Ingram, which John rode when he was
Seven--Years--Old and  2)--Feb--07--1954 when the three Museum Cars were
moved from Ingram to County Home siding under their own power.

	John does not claim to be on the second trip, but there is someone 
*near*  his age on the second trip as can be seen in one of the photos I
sent to Derrick asking him to post.   Those 4-photos are:::::::

	1)--08321714.jpg of 832 on the Drake trestle and 1714 under the Drake
trestle with 3756 at the end of the trestle.
	2)--02073756.jpg of 3756 stopped enroute and a group posing for photos
with someone about John's age at the time!!
	3)--08320207.jpg of 832 and a small group photo in Houston.
	4)--027-3756.jpg of 3756 at its new home, County Home Siding, on the 
*former*  Washington Interurban, now Pittsburgh Electric Railway Club
(PERC) property, aka Pennsylvania Railway Museum Association (PRMA), aka
Pennsylvania Trolley Museum (PTM).

	M1 was towed by 3756 although the trolley was raised and the car used
power on some icey sections as well as up through the tunnel.   Once at
Drake loop, M1 ran under her own power to the Museum site.
