[PRCo] Re: 3-car fantrip from Pittsburgh to PRMA Washington

Jim,

The photo was FROM Bill Gwinn; he didn't take the photo, but it was in his
collection. This photo was taken of the same scene, and at the same
location, as the photo you posted; in fact, the pole shadows fall on exactly
the same locations on the PCC in both photos.  The 832 in my photo is above
the front of the PCC, while on your photo it's above the middle of the PCC.
They could have been sequence photos taken by the one person, or photos
taken by two people standing very close together.  We'll probably never
know.

I double-checked my NMRA flyer, and yes, 4398 was used in the parade of
trolleys night fantrip in August, 1958.
